Looks good! You really kept the weight down. That's going to be a big plus.

Congrats Al
Way to go Al. Your about 60 lbs lighter than mine. Looks like you beat me in build time by 4 years. 160 hp is sweet in these.

How many flying -9's do you have Mark? (I know of at least one more that is very close to its first flight.)
