Thanks again for your input. Sounds as if you're pretty well set with your Buddy. The weight of yours is about where it should be (I would think) just wished mine was in the same range. Oh well.......I'm gonna fly the crap out of it anyways! I'll most likely install my Himax 2025 on it at some point just for grins as it should provide insane power for it.
I can't complain about the fuse as it holds up waaay better than I would have thought. It is pretty durable........well, so far. I know this plane is destined to be a condensed pile of sticks and covering......if you catch my drift.......
Again - thanks!
