Joe built her stock, straight & strong and she flies great. No plans to
swap the O235-L2C for a larger engine. I've flown her to Florida twice (Sun-N-Fun
1998 and a snorkeling and camping trip in 1999), and many shorter trips. I added
an electric landing brake actuator which I really like. I'm currently developing
an ambitious, low cost, very full featured custom EZ multifunction display with
an 8" color LCD touch screen. Feature list is "everything but the
kitchen sink". Primary design goals are very low cost, reliable and intuitive.
Just add GPS/NAV/COM, transponder and fly. Solid state gyro instruments when
the price performance improves.
