                    Looks a million $$ Russ. Well done. I"m pleased she flies as well as it looks. What make of radiator did you use and hows the temp during flight?

                      That is one pretty plane! Too bad you could not afford doors...And that looks like a golf course you are sitting on. You obviously do not want to stress the undercart.Do the prop tips make it quieter?Interested to hear how the vary speed prop affects your flying and economy.Graham

                            Do you really need the sensor in the inlet Russ ? or go back to a paper air filter. I"ve only ever had a paper filter & approx 4,000 hours......do I need a fancy air filter?.....dont think so.
