The airplane performed flawlessly and it was one of the most exciting flights I've ever had. Much to my surprise, the airplane initially climbed like a homesick angel. While I tried to keep a climbout speed of 50 mph, I edged it up to 60 mph and was doing 1500 fpm! The Rotax 912ULS seems like a bulletproof engine. I also found out the landing gear is pretty stout and can take a good beating. Don't ask me how I know that. :D Thanks to all on this forum for all the advice. It is much appreciated.

The clearances are very tight and the bending process is painful. I manufacture an exact copy of the Rotax mount at a much better price if you decide to buy rather than build.
