They are setting up next to us at Oshkosh... Nice looking, someone said it was 10k for the engine alone. But I am impressed with the quality of their aircraft that they also just rolled out...

The airplane is beautiful. Looks like it's straight out of the 1930's. 10K for two thirds of a Werner is a bit steep though.

Sure it would work. Is it "better" than the Verner? Maybe..I've certainly had issues with the Verner, but I might have issues with the Spirit, too. Dunno. (shrug)

I like that it is direct drive and has that big-bore loap sound.

Yeah, it sounds good.  :) Does that translate to vibrates a lot? I know a guy that put a Harley engine on a small homebuilt but never flew it. He was afraid it was going to vibrate the airplane apart.  :o
