I second the opinion on the fairing.  I've always wondered why someone 

doesn't design a fairing for the 503 in a Firestar-type installation. Seems 

like you could pick up 10 or 15 mph, considering how draggy the unfaired 

engine appears to be.

Hi Craig, that airport looks familiar, I see it on the way ip to PHX.          If you are going to be out this weekend flying I would be interested          in flying in to take a look at your machine. Let me know.              

         Thanks

Craig,



Aside from making your plane look bad ass cool, did the fairing give you much of a speed increase ?

I do feel there is a performance increase. My airspeed indicator is

wrong. It shows 100mph. I have been indicating 87 mph with the gps level

flight at 4900 rpm. With adjustments to elevator trim. My friend with

his Robinson R 44 raven could not keep up with me when we were flying

last week. He asked me to slow down so he could catch up after take off

I had climbed about 3000 ft and was out of the traffic pattern 5 miles.

I still don't have the doors and windows. Before the cowling I could not

get over 70 mph. The prop was not pitched right ether. I can tell you

this thing climbs like a monkey. The yaw is something I am working on

now. John H if you read this I would like your phone number off list.
