We're flying the test hours off now and will be installing a 2 blade carbon ground adjustable sensenich stol prop next week, so, more testing.

Ah, at 4200asl, the power is very welcome.
A friend of mine has a 701 with a Rotax 912. But his strip might be 50asl. Most of his flying is below 2000.
They aren't the prettiest airplane out there but they are just the ticket for sight seeing.
Thanks
