LDM Sounds like it's going to be a nice one ! I had built a Roy Vallincourt FW190a a few years back, it had a lot of bells & whistles too, Flaps, retracts for the mains and the tailwheel . I let our clubs best flyer at the time fly it for it's maiden and it was good I did , he had to hold down elevator after putting all the down trim in it to get it to land. It got straightened out after that but I was too afraid to fly it for fear of cracking it up so I sold it . [&o]

I understand your feelings about the G26EI, I have an Evolution 26 and had problems from the start with batteries ( not high enough voltage ) then the Module went bad and they repaced that free of charge but it still gave me a bad taste in the mouth . I would stick with a gas engine with magneto if I had the choice again . I'm sure other guys will say they never had a problem and maybe it 's just me ( duh ! ) but !! The big FW from Vallincourt had a G62 with the spring starter, worked good .
