"...I regularly do see 2,500 fpm or more after take off, even though it's built too heavy (electric water pump, SS hoses, brackets, etc. that could be lighted). Still haven't gotten up the courage to do a loop because it's over gross aerobatic weight even with 5 gals of fuel.

Finn:

Thanks for the reply!  So your empty weight must be 850 pounds or so? 

What did you do for a muffler…hang an external one on the bottom or tuck one in the cowling somehow?

Take care,

Doug
