RE: When excited.... take a step back...
Great going, Gus! Glad you got it back in the air.
A guy at our club has an UltraSport he built about 9 years ago, with retracts. He dug it out and started flying it again this fall. Great fun, he pulls the retracts up and does high speed inverted low passes, all kinds of loops & rolls and towering verticals. It has a .46 Magnum that's about 4 years old, with a Pitts muffler. Very distinctive and good flying plane.
Keep it up!
