    Wow, really weird. DHL shows the package in Ohio at 02:13 this morning. And in SLC just after 4 a.m. That is one fast plane they put it on. Lol. Processed through SLC just after 8 this morning. Sooo....maybe it'll make it. Keeping fingers, toes, tounge and everything else crossed. :spongebob...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    Unfortunately, disheartening news. I have been keeping and eye on the tracking from DHL for the exhaust. Funny how this all works. It took exactly one day...1 DAY, to get from the heart of China, through customs in Hong Kong and over the sea to Ohio. One stinking day. But thanks to the good ole...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    A crud but hopefully promising air flow test. Turn "down" the volume. I sound like such a moron. Lmao. Wheel pants, exhaust and balance is all that's left. Oh yeah, and a mock up walk around. I'm pretty jacked and can hardly wait for Saturday to get here. I will get a final all together all up...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    Got the left side done tonight. All in all, it came out pretty good. I did an air flow test after everything was in place. By using a burning match and my heat gun, (no heat-just air) I was able to see if this thing is even going to flow air. Much to my surprise even the very low volume of...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    The split baffling was just not coming out the way I wanted it to. Too many things in the way to make it clean and allow for positive flow. So, I changed it up some. After looking at other options, I chose to design a shroud on top of the cylinders. I've seen this done before and from everything...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Had a really great day of flying today. Lil Purple brother performed flawlessly. Last flight she turned 100. One cartwheel and over 1600 ounces and I'm ready for the next 100. I also had the awesome privilege of flying with some of the...mmm, more elder gents of the club. One in particular was...

    If I may, that would be a DA 200.

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    I have them split and ducts going from the front cowl inlets across all four cylinders to ram the air down through the cylinders. I don't forsee a heating issue.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Going out flying, taking little purple brother to put the beat down on. Getting ready for next weekend when "big" purple brother makes his debut with the 4 pop-pop-pop-popper hummin' under da hood. I'm getting really excited to "smoke it cuz I got it" 4 banger style.

    Contest time! "Smoke'em if Ya Got'em!"

    What I did not catch on the video is where it fell backwards and ended up inverted with the left wing very low. I was pretty impressed. He couldn't have been more than 30 feet off the top of the sage brush. He stayed calm and collected, flew the plane, pushed up, rolled upright and climbed out.

    Just about done with the baffling. Ugh...can I change my mind on the motor now? Lol. Just a little bit more to do on top of the motor and build an air deflector on the bottom of the fuse. I've opened up the lower inlet on the cowl and will build a velocity tube inside to help "draw" air...

    Pilot 30% Edge 540. Who's Flying it!?

    Definitely next weekend. I am pretty sure the last of the plane is almost done. Finishing the baffling and then we "BLAST" off. Oh yeah, I wonder if I can "HUCK" my four cylinder the same way my son "HUCKS" his DLE 222 four cylinder?! LOL

    Contest time! "Smoke'em if Ya Got'em!"

    Wow.... what a save. Too bad I was more interested in seeing the plane than videoing it. LOL. Oh well, still a "smoking" video all the same. One of my favorite parts: 4:00 minutes to 4:20
