LOL!!! I guess I was really bearing down on the stick!!
Dantley...its the 160sx I bought from you about a year ago, 41lbs dry 160oz of gas. Plenty of power for my type of flying. I need to move the door cylinders to get a better geometry (doors are flapping open a little) and beef up the nose strut spring (it was compressing on take off roll). Other than that everything is working perfect.

PS: TY for the great pics Joe!!

Nice pix too! Love the speed brake action in those airborne pix. Looks like a really nice area to fly at as well.

i did not use slats for takeoff. I don't think it would hurt to use them maybe half throw but it's really not needed.
