Thom, you're having ALL THE FUN, leave some for us!!! Man, what a sweet little machine. 31K? WAY less than I thought as I was checking out their website. I think there's one in my (distant?) future.
A few questions - could you please compare/contrast that machine to an autogyro and a helicopter? How much power, if any, goes to the top rotor vs. the pusher prop? Does the Subaru engine use timing belts, or chains? (A friend who was equally impressed by your machine just told me about a Porsche 911 engine that was modified for aero use, with chain drive being one of the mods). What's the cruising range, and what's your longest flight to date, and the longest flight that you might have planned? Lastly, what can I do about the jealous rage that has come over me?
On using Amsoil - don't you know that's just snake oil sold by conniving racketeers engaged in a modern-day Ponzi scheme? Have you thought about switching to Quaker State?
Thanks for sharing the pics Thom, great stuff.
Yours truly, John D/CT_Tree_Guy/"Amsoil Lover"*
* I guess I could have just as easily been branded a "RedLine Lover" or a "Royal Purple Lover", but my local NAPA didn't happen to carry them. LOL
