Yeah, but you still didn't give details on how that plane happened? I'm just curious is all, unless it was for a business venture of some sort, I've never see someone overseas do a plane like that one-off. But it IS cool!

I completely understand about the money and no time thingy. To a lot of people, why build a paint a plane when someone else could do it better and possibly cheaper? I usually say "if you have to ask, then you're DEFINITELY better off getting a plane like that". because if you're not into the building thing, it's just work, not fun, and not rewarding.

I'm just tickled to see so many planes available and the quality getting better all the time! I LOVE options and choices. One day I may own one of those killer overseas uber planes. But it would be more of a collector piece, because I enjoy my own stuff way too much. But I do so love the cool toys!!!

Like the new OS200EFI.....no, most people won't pay that. But it isn't meant for most people. It's meant for people who want the most expensive, coolest toy. Functionally I'm not sure if there is any advantage over a YS 170. I'm guessing a slight edge when it's all said and done, but I never use full throttle on my 160DZ as it is! And I have it slightly detuned...but it's a real screamer out of the box anyway.

Now I need to see if I will have one plane with me, or 2......
