Nope but I'm working on it,,, steady these days! manufactured new elevator trim cable set today and am trying to get them installed.
Mags are at Savage Magneto service for overhaul.
Engine has all connections made for running, and it's been peroiled, ready to start.
Flight control cables are all in and adjusted/tentioned, throws are set on the rudder and elevator.
Cabin box is complete, seats are ready to install, radios are installed and checked, transponed has been certified and ready.
I still must finish:
The second and third primer coats on the wings and fuselage, and apply the finish coat of color and trim paint.
Install wing & rudder strobes and landing light.
install the wheel and strut fairings,(nickle and dime stuff).

Google says about 110 knots on 200 HP?

Yeah, that's true; plus it's cheaper than a new LSA.
And I'd rather have one than an LSA.
