Nice review there Dick. Thanks for the link. Good job as always.
Folks that I know flying the Minnow so far have reported basically the same info to me. Most of the 'issues' were with cosmetics and some numbers, rather than with phyical construction or flying qualities. So this seems to be a pretty good bird.
Thepilots flying with the jett SJ-90L "toni" muffler setup in the minnow (same arrangement fits perfectly) have noted it is fairly quick, but its not a rocket ship. Not too much different than the Toni speed wise. A 12x8 or 12x9 prop seems to be prefered. With the SJ-90LX the 11x9 or 12x7 seems to work best. Slows for landing real well, good top end - and has nice aerobatic capabilities as well
