DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!!!!!!    :-)

Hi Dave,   I'm trying hard to leave it alone for now, and in fact, I've even given some thought to selling the RV-3.  I'm really more interested in the Kolb and single rotor project at the moment.   
 
Bob,   The initial climb rate is about 2400 fpm, which isn't bad, but doesn't exactly dominate the performance of a healthy 160 HP Lycoming either.  I really think it could do much better than this, with a bit of intake work, or a turbo :-)
 
Thanks for all the comments.
