    I’m kind of in the opinion that planes are function over form always. If you NEED an LSA but you WANT a rotech, the choice kind of works itself out.

    Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I've been looking for other people who have installed radial engines.

    Love the video. You have a beautiful plane!

    It looks like you got off the water in about 10 seconds, which is great performance. Would you mind posting some of your numbers? I would like to know your previous and new EW and EWCG.

    I would love to do a amphibious float upgrade someday. I have almost 3000 hours of float time, mostly in amphibious planes and really miss it at times.
