HI Troy,

Good to hear from someone, who actually has something tangiable from this particular designer, but why are the plans 80% when the designer obviously has the skills, to build a full scale replica? Is it a question of powerplants, or product liability?

And that Chevy block doesn't sound particularly powerful..... as Tim "Tooltime" would say..

mmmm Jaguar V12 and 100% would it be possible?

Superior aircraft design eh?

Tony :0)

: this aircraft (there's only 1) took him about 8 years to

: the build. Be prepared to spend around $60K to complete t
: he kit...that's with the modification to the original desi
