Thanks Dan, I still need to finish the graphics. I ran out of white vinyl so I have to wait. I made the extensions for the needles. Just need to trim an access hoe in the cowl. Continued running the engine some more. I have a much smoother idle now. and I so far I'm impressed with how well it is running and starting. Hope it holds up for a while. I can feel that it will hover at about 3/4 throttle or so. holding it verticle it wants to pull up and away! Oh, BTW the spinner is a "Petes Models Spinner I had from one of my Yaks. I't a 3.5" CF Bullet. They are really light for the size.

Sorry about your mishap at the field. Crazy that the engine kept running while the prop was in contact with the bench. They usually stop with any interferance.
