Hi Ed,

That's the sort of attitude that sets my teeth on edge. What is the point
of
an automotive engine powered airplane? Smarty points, or moving together
towards a viable alternative to a 40 year old price gouging monopoly?

I'm sorry, but my comments won't be much help. While I will always welcome
constructive critisism from anyone, my plane will NOT be available for
judging.

I'll happily write an article for a magazine like Contact, and will
publish
details of my installation on my web site, but I find this this whole
concept of a bunch of self professed experts setting criteria and making
judgements a little distasteful.

My 2c.

Ok, John, understand your viewpoint and appreciate your input.  May turn out
there are sufficient folks that feel the same way you do that we won't need
any judging criteria.  Certainly most folks doing auto conversions are
focused on more fundamental things than a paint job..
