Phil,
Thanks for the info and invitation! Sounds like a beautiful place to live.
If I get through there I'll drop you a line and look you up.
Same invite goes to you if your ever in Northern Illinois. We live on a
strip one hour south of OSH. No majestic mountains, just a lot of corn and
soybean fields!
FWIW, I'm real happy with the C85-8 on our Cub. It has a O-200 crankshaft
STC and a 40" pitch prop (for seaplane ops.). It's a real hoot on wheels
with that engine and prop.
Have fun!
Rick
