I have not yet finalized the purchase of Ed=E2=80=99s aircraft.  I plan =
to go to NC in 2 or 3 weeks to pick up and bring back to Dallas.  Ed =
could accurately state how many hours he has on the current =
installation, which is plugs up.  I know it is several hundred.  There =
was apparently much debate about the pro=E2=80=99s and con=E2=80=99s of =
the plugs up installation back at the time.  He says that none of the =
con=E2=80=99s that had been postulated by others ever appeared in those =
several hundred hours of flight time.  I have been very impressed with =
the design and analysis that Ed put into every aspect of his =
installation. Maybe Ed will chime in here soon.
