Hey J, did you ever see the flight videos of my DVII with the Briggs in it? Flew fine, just not a powerhouse. I was too chicken to fly it in heavy winds. But, even on a bad day (really humid, the engine didnt run well) the plane took off and flew, really slow, almost no climb but I did do one circuit of the field and then landed. Very scary but the plane is sooo stable and has soooo much lift! Here is the flight vid;
