    Ok JET, you don't have to be a show off about the two month thing, took me 6 years to reach that point. Just kidding. She sounds great. Great milestone in near record time.

    Congrats again, Mike.

    Sounds great man. I was going to say, better open up that garage door. Seems like there are a lot of 2 month plans going on lately...I'm not one of them, but nothing beats the sound of a healthy brand new push rod engine. Nice work!!

    Congratulations From The Dark Side!

    Building a Factory Five MK-4 must feel like child's play after building seven (7) airplanes.
    Man, I wish I has 1/4 to 1/2 of your mechanical and assembly skills, heck 1/8 to 1/4 would suffice.

    Congratulations Again!

    Thanks Steve,
    I don't know if it's skills, or just persistence. Airplane, or car, doesn't matter. It's still exciting to fire that engine for the first time. I don't know Mike and Mark, but I have seen videos of that Wilga before. They are pretty awesome STOL planes.
