I think I remember dave von linsowe flying this plane a couple years back? anyhow, it looks good to me, all wood arc fiberglass cowl. Only thing I dont like but will get over is it is for retracts, but I fly of asphault anyway. WHo makes a good pattern plane retracts for this size? Also debating over a YS 140, or an OS 140 or Webra 1.45 and pipe.
