Hey Chip,

Thanks for posting about your experiences. Bobby Satalino is also very happy with his Contra Powered Visa. He says it flew great right from the start, just like yours did. He is also very happy with the speed as well, and Bobby is known to have a preference for a fast setup.

I am very interested to learn more about your dad's Contra motor mount. Do you have any pictures that you can post?

Hi Brenner
I looked at the Visa that Chip installed the contra drive in. It looked like Chip used the standard mount for the Neu motor and moved it to mount on the front of the firewall vs the back. He moved the rear motor support forward accordingly. I couldn't tell, but I think the firewall was in the original position.

I flew it and found it pretty impressive.
