Joe, I love the checkered bottom. With MY old eyes, I NEED something more than purple on the bottom, especially in low or gray light.

But the real story of this plane is that Featherlite engine. I've never seen one (not saying much). Where do they make them? What size is it? Have you had it on another bird? That looks to be a very nice velocity stack on the carb. Is is standard?

My luck with Saito engines, bearing problems, general undependability, filthy with castor, fuel inefficiency (I HAVE ordered velocity stacks for 'em)---all may lead me to gas engines.

So tell us the story of the Featherlite.

Jack

P.S. Boy, I'd like to see that maiden flight.
