| bug engines?! Heck I can even keep this about flying now. I used to own an Experimental called a Sonerai. It was powered by a 2180cc type 1 VW. 54 X 48 prop. The engine rotates opposite a normal airplane engine. Those are swept LEADING edges on the prop. That thing couldnt climb very well but man, wind out the little VW to 3200-3400rpm and it would scoot about 145mph on 70hp, was aerobatic and extremely light on controls. Probably the Miata of airplanes.

On another note, I spent the morning working on Pantera #2. I added a set of the brown spacers at the flybar cage and changed the paddle position to the aft holes again. A new Carb Smart sensor and finally got the RevMax sensor mounted and the flywheel magnets installed. I'm finishing the basic assembly of Pantera #3. I'm leaving #4 in the box until I drill one of these in.
