    Thank you for all the kind words. It was truly a surprise for me, and I am very appreciative to be able to represent the KitFox community.

    Here is another picture after I got home.

    Thanks to all for the support!!

    OK Mike, I wanted to build with the radial but was informed that it was the heaviest engine put on the SS7. I was surprised to find you were register a light sport. How much does it weigh? I am now contemplating another build since your win but I would like a reasonable useful load. Probably could be done if I use Oratex again. I didnt Know about Oratex when I bought.
