    Here's a Building Log in Progress...

    It's between a Buttercup and Tailwind.

    Looking good, fun to see the progress, but are these two-year-old photos or you need to set the date on your camera? ;-)

    Thanks for the photos. I'm certainly an admirer of Wittman's approach to designs (i.e. lightweight and simple). What engine will you be using?

    Wittman's designs really are simple and light... Oh yeah...and FAST

    The engine I'm putting in mine is a Lycoming 0-235

    I'm using a climb prop from Catto
