Ditto,

If it were MY plane, I WOULD NOT fly it with that engine. Especially if you're a low-time pilot. Brad has little to lose with his cavalier attitude, "Fly it. If you like it..." It'll be more like "if it survives."

That plane has thin airfoils, large control surfaces, and a lot of drag (as do all bipes). It needs more power. PLEASE trust my experience on this.

Hey Brad, you can't crash a telescope, you know.
