    Sorry guys... things have been crazy busy and I am currently in Florida. Brought the Speedster down and Kyle will be flying it in the show.

    Not much to offer just yet on the 915iS. It is very early in the flight testing. Initial response? VERY SMOOOOTH and great power. Initial INSTALLED weights
    Appears to be little over 100 lbs (115) lighter than the Titan and 100 lbs heavier than the 912ULS. I say appears because our scales are off being calibrated.

    We are doing very short hops currently so we will not get cruise speeds and fuel burns until later.. there are also tweaks of the prop that are needed.

    All in all... I feel it will be an awesome performer.

    Take comfort in knowing the 915 is being flown by Judd while John's in Florida. I was in the pattern while he was test flying above us yesterday.
