On a light note---
I was able to get ahold of an old Supra-Fly 45 and a YS-60RE/ pipe combo. so I can have my 80's style pattern plane with retracts!
I know that it will not outperform the Excelleron with the YS-1.10 that I have flown recently, but I wanted an old-school Pattern ship.

I have flown the Kaos and super Kaos, great flying sport airplane- limited in perf. compared to many new designs!
Good times either way!
