You also could look at the BVM Electra and consider why it has not been a hit when converted to '44 or P60 power. Those who did the conversions a while ago predicted they would be popular, but I haven't seen one for some years. Also I do not recall them as being very fast.

John,
i would like to make it decently fast, but still have great low speed handling for those with shorter fields, aerobatic qualities are high in the list as well.
The design is mainly finished, i just have to finalize the airfoils and begin working in structures then i'll start looking into doing plugs and such.
