I ordered a kit Saturday and spent the weekend reading up on the 818. I built two FF5 kits almost 10 years ago. It seems that backorders and powdercoat issues are still around.

However, in my absence, I built a kit airplane. That experience made the FF5 kit issues seem trivial. After all, you can't just "pull over" if something goes haywire. I live in Lake Tahoe at 6500 ft so I upgraded my airplane engine from the stock 4 cyl to a 6 cyl so I MUST throw a 3.6 engine in my 818.

While waiting for posting rights, I have been in contact with Wayne about his harness and brain. I see a few 3.0 builds but no 3.6 builds. why? cost?
