Ernest adn Ed,

I know Paul and Lou real well.  They lived in SC about 2-3 miles from me went 
I lived there.  We were both building for quite a while, and compared notes 
quite often.  I've been in their plane on a high speed taxi, and I will say 
that it has significant power.  It sounds quite different than the 13B 
though, and sounds like it is running more RPM's than it really is, I guess 
due to the extra rotor.

Paul told me that Lou flew it about 25 feet off the ground and set it back 
down again again, but they are working on a high oil temp issue, before they 
attempt a flight.   Right now they are limiting their boost to about 4 lbs, 
but the turbo they are running will deliver up to about 25 lbs.
