Just an update on the Jeepenpol. I am finishing up all the little chores and
have my registration in hand, I should be ready for my DAR inspection soon.
I hope to test fly by mid September.

the engine when it's hot is usually one time when I feel like it's got a mind

a crispy sugar and cinnamon crust, and other days the airplane makes mincemeat

it to 41CC a time or two, but the airplane has done it to me MANY times!

I hear ya. I "barnstormered" mine, sans engine about 6 yrs ago. Still having the
time of my life in it. I built ribs to a Piet before I found this one, but I
really dig the idea of finding one that previously flew and bringing it back
to flying status. You can have the fun of turning wrenches and getting in the
air sooner. I find the andrew king barn find a really interesting project.
