IMPRESSIVE! That is beautiful, Bob. What's your estimate as far as a date for a maiden flight? You have to be getting anxious, and maybe a little nervous?

I know what you mean by "popular...

I was considering a turboprop in a big Pilatus Porter but the 5 grand for the engine will keep me away. I can buy a lot of Saito 4 strokes and glow fuel for five thousand :)
