Not to get off topic too much but I was amazed that WildHare introduced their new plane and suggested a G62! Tom any vids of the new bird with G62 flying yet? Id love to see it fly with that combo.
I was frankly amazed when I flew the first Edge prototype with a G62 at how well the engine pulled the plane and what a really nice engine it was. Very responsive, easy to start, and as a bonus it's very quiet. The G62 exhaust port is shaped in a way that makes it inherently less noisy than other designs. With a Bisson wraparound pitts muffler it had excellent power and was very user friendly. NOw, remember, this is with a C&H electronic ignition, I do not have such a high opinion of the engine with a magneto.
I am expecting two Edges in by air freight in the next couple days. I will be assembling one with the G62 getting photos for the manual. The other one is going to Joe Hunt to do testing with a DA 50. Hopefully Joe will be able to do a video.
