thanks for the compliments guys, my partner jim hunter came up with the paint design and were really happy with it.
got to fly a little bit today and love the visability and also the seating is so comfortable this is going to be a great cruising air plane. seeing air speeds of 100 to 110 kt at 5300 to 5500 rpm but cannot verify that yet as the wind is howling and it is pretty rough for any accuate numbers but this one is definetly a keeper.
