True that, but I am older now... I have flown IMAC and was a hot dog in my day (I began flying in 1962) for what I want now the Sporty and the smooth running 40 is going to be perfect for me. My 40 is still in the break in phase and I am running a 19x8 Xoar prop... from what I have read I can run a 20 with no problems which will be perfect after break in when I change to a Vess 20B. I have decided to keep the stock gear and I will be adding flying wires in back. I am going to use Robart hinges and Dubro ball links, more suitable Dubro horns, Ohio tail wheel assembly and better pushrods. I am building this one for me because I believe it to be a keeper... and to my eye truly gorgeous. I am a retired professional drummer and I am going to let Animal from the Muppets be my pilot figure... should make it even more fun. Depending how Animal fits, it may become an open cockpit airplane.
Thanks very much for posting!
