Tracy,

 

Now that you've flown the Renesis for a while, what do you calculate the HP to be in real life?  And YES, you know why I'm asking :-) 

 

As fate would have it, I found out today that there's a nearly untouched, complete, RV-8 kit in the row of hangers next to mine, and it's for sale.  If it's noticeably below the price of a new kit, I'll have to get it.  I haven't hear from the owner yet, and I almost hope it's not a bargain, because I'd really rather have a quickbuild.  I've built about 2.5 RV's now, and think I've had all the education I can stand when it comes to the drill, deburr, dimple, rivet, repeat routine.  I also talked to Van's, and they have a new shipment of QB RV-8's coming in Dec. 

 

Cheers,

Rusty (See Ed, I told you)

 

PS- George, How's the Rupert supply of Renesis engines holding up?

 

Rusty,

Rupert is a really nice chap ( Irish I think) although very much the business man - he's complaining their not going fast enough. I suppose because he had to outlay for about 40 of them, I think he's down to a little under a half.

 

I asked him if he would be able to get anymore of them when he sells this lot - he's not hopeful. I think he also feels they go too slowly.

 

So I guess what I'm saying is get in and get it while it going so cheap! I don't believe there will be another lot going at this price.
