flyingvranch,

Your plane looks great. That is a really nice job you did of cutting out around the cowl. I am happy with the way mine turned out, but it is not as close as yours. I am surprised that the .40 is enough power for you. I suppose it is quite a bit lighter, so that helps a lot. A .61 is overkill. I fly it at half throttle most of the time. I like the extra power for vertical climbs mostly. I bet the added fuel economy is nice. How long do you get out of the stock tank?
