Default Way to go

Young man - beautiful airplane which obviously flies well. I suspect that you won't be the last to make the change to American iron. Sure would like to see some pictures of the engine compartment, etc., and maybe your comments on adapting the 235 to the RV-12 frame. And thanks for sharing.

Default The question everyone wants to know...

the answer too...

Now that it has been flying for almost 6 months, and with 2 videos posted on line (but little other information)...

How about telling us what it weighs, and how the performance #'s compare to a Rotax powered RV-12.

The sound is simply stunning. I love this low hum ...
