John,
Yes its a venturi tube. No electrics at all on the bird and I use a handheld radio to get in and out of the airports. Have to hand prop the airplane.
I wanted a real airplane that you fly, not something with an autopilot and such. I can take the doors off and get a real view but you really have to trust the seat belts!
Matt,
For someone who is mechanical its an option but few people realize just how long it takes to build or restore an airplane. Have done three so far in my life and you can almost double or triple the time you estimate. That said, you know the bird better than anyone then. Yes, you are allowed to do a lot more maintenance on a homebuilt or experimental aircraft.
Joe
