Don't feel alone guys........ I'm building a 601XL but my first build was an Excalibur ( a Challenger-like 2 place UL). We have a builder in Florida who has his Excalibur up for sale for half a year now because he seems to have given up on modifying it into an open class pylon racer.
He built the very first clipped-wing Excalibur, progressed through at least three different Gee-Whiz props, each of which was going to turn the little plane into a rocket according to him. He has now ditched the Rotax 503 DCDI engine in favor of a Hirth or HKS with about 20 or so more hp. All this on an airframe which has the drag characteristics of a powered parachute!
It is truly amazing how some builders take the latiyudes allowed to us in experimental aircraft to the extremes of trying to make the design into something it was never intended to be. Oh well.... to each his own and may God bless....
