We had 500 pounds on the front seat and the plane lifted off the runway in less then 1500 ft. He said it is a great improvement from V. 1.0. That's the good part. Last few times I had trouble starting cold. If I give it a sniff of the starting fluid it will sputter and I have to turn on the Cold Start for a second or two to get it going. Before start I hit the primer 4-6 times, but it does not help. After it worms up, starts instantly. Anybody with ideas to improve the situation? Thanks. Buly
