In my Mk 33 I was caught out on my first take off with a lumpy passenger. O
nly just made it out over the hedge. Next time I just put in a bit of extra
up trim. Problem solved. No mod needed. Pat

in which a few months after I bought the kit the stabilizers were enlarged.
Some time later they went back to the "standard size". I asked Norm at t
he time if I should change them back and he said don't bother. I have done
a full stall landing with a 220# passenger. I weigh around 185#. No probl
ems on the flair. Don't know if the larger stab. had any effect or not.

| Subject: | Fwd: recent video- fire |
A couple of days ago we had an evening "Desert" storm blow through. I sit
outside as long as I can to watch for fires. Unfortunately we had a strike
and soon after a plume of smoke. Unfortunately it racked up about 2300
acres of Desert before it could be put out.
This morning was the first time that I could fly it to access the damage. I
flew for 42 minutes at 1500 feet agl. It was smooth as velvet, and by using
my HACMAN system leaned out the engine to 1300 EGT's, only burning 1.5
gallons of fuel with the HKS. All at speeds of 70 MPH.

Only thing I'd add to what others said is if you go with the 503 use a C or E gearbox
with the 3.47 to 1 ratio and the appropriate Warp Drive prop.
