    I've been told by others, and I agree, that my 78" Prince P-Tip prop makes my 912S Rotax sound like a little radial. It's also the best prop I've tried in 3000 hours of flying my RANS S-7S, and I've tried them all, the sound it makes is a bonus!

    Congrats on firing her up! That Verner sounds SO GOOD! I’ve been watching your build with much interest.

    I'm sure you've addressed it in one of your videos, but how are you providing cabin heat?

    Never bleed from the top down! Always push the air up! Bleed from the wheels up! All it takes is a simple pump oil can. Sad people do it backwards all the time!

    How do you like the Verner motor? I plan on building a WWI Airdrome Airplane kit, and was looking at this engine and the Rotec. I have seen people complaining about the Rotec having a lot of quality issues. What is your opinion on the this engine?

    Your aircraft is coming along nicely. I still love hearing that 7 cyl radial. What is the target weight upon completion?

    That radial sound soOOooOOoo good. I wish the phone video cameras didn't stop or randomize the props.
    I didn't get your statement, "Center of gravity is 8 inches." Eight inches from what? I presume there's a standard? What am I missing?

      Datum for the CG is the leading edge of the wing. For flight it needs to be between 9.5 and 16.0". It will meet that 9.5" forward limit with a 150lb pilot and just a couple gallons of gas. Bottom line, I won't have to worry about being tail heavy even with 150lbs of baggage, two fat pilots and full fuel
