Default congrats!

good job! looks well built. enjoy the phase I. you're going to like it.

note: if that's a Superior XP-O-320 with Precision carb, consider a sump riser insert if you have excessive engine coughing when full rich when the power is reduced. if it's not, never mind.

If you are referring to the spacer between the carb and the sump, it already has one, came like that from Aerosport. If not, let me know. Thanks!

Great job, Doug. You and I have close to the same S/N. Mine is 92051 and took about 2 years, 4 months. Enjoy your first flight and beyond.
