I have a couple of questions that maybe a few of you could answer for me. How tall of a pilot can fit comfortably in these planes (I'm 6' 2" plus)? I'm 6' and there's little head room to spare in my plane but it's probably because I'm using adjustable seats from a Mazda Miata, which are thicker than the what the kit calls for. What are the actual performance and flight characteristics like. What are actual empty weights and useful loads comming out to? Mine is about 85% done on the body parts and has no engine or avionics, so I never flew it. Does anyone have experience with the LYCOMING XP360 engine by Mattituck with the fadec system? No, but I don't see why it wouldn't be a dependable Lyc. Is anyone willing to talk to me on the phone and share their experience with flying one? I'm actually looking to sell and was planning to continue and finish it except for the firewall forward. I live in FL and a close airport is Venice Municipal.
