Haha Ok I would appreciate that, tell him no pressure but just a little anxious. :) I would like to pull the trigger on the sport model but I want to see some flight test data on how the total package with the clipped wings and bigger engine is working out.

No significant updates - Bob is waiting on us to give him his fuselage back. We have been test fitting skins and controls to it.
Once we release it there will be the majority of an airplane together very quickly. Then the wiring and rigging will take some time. The cowling will be a solid three weeks of fabrication as well.
No builders log - Bob and the internet are not intimate friends. Don't worry though - as soon as he has something note worthy I will go down there myself and get photos and do a blog post about it.

Any updates with Bob's Woolley's plane? Does he have a builders log?

Bob Woolley is close to getting his flying - we will have numbers from his with the 0-320 soon.

When are we going to see some actual flight test data of the sport wing? Why not put a sport wing on the prototype? Ill volunteer to build a wing if I can have it back when your done! ;) I am curious how real world numbers LSA vs Sport, specifically roll rate, lightness of controls, stall and spin characteristics. Thanks!
