I was just on the old Matronics list for RV-3s and saw that you had e-mailed “Rusty” back in 2001 when he was just beginning his RV-3 w/13B project.  Didn’t you end up buying that a/c from a succeeding owner after he sold it???  :)

Are you still flying it?  

If so, what are some of the performance numbers of it with a 13B engine?

thanks.
