You are absolutely right Kelly; I think that we were asking for the 2.85 even before Paul L. Matter of fact, you were probably the first since I think you already had a 2.85 Ross when we first started talking about this stuff years ago. And of course there are a few 2.85 Ross drives flying. I received my RD-1C last week. It's beautiful and I really wish that I had a FINISHED RV to put it on. Maybe I'll get laid off so that I will have some time off to finish my airplanes.
But mostly, we are really fortunate to have a man of Tracy's abilities leading the way and building the parts that most of us couldn't build in a thousand years. Thanks Tracy.

Ken,
How long have we been begging Tracy to produce the 2.85? My 2.85 should be
shipped any day now. That is if Tracy will land his -4 long enough ship it!
