Verner Sent a few photos of the engine builds. I've got good intel these two engines will be flying on a couple XLs in the Texas skies this spring.

Ah yes,Santa finally arrived! Instead of the usual lump of coal, he left one Scarlett 3.
LE-LX E-20 will be flying the TX skies this spring with it. More as it all develops. I know Frank Johnson is about to receive his. I am looking forward to Recklaw already!

OK I am nearing the airframe completion point.....and have all the goods on hand to finish my 45 horse. So what kind of thrust are these capable of ? I am almost tempted...but I want to see one fly first. If Frank doesn't mind a visit...I want to see it flying myself. I can always put the 45 on another plane I plan to build after this one....

They ask me what it's made of.....I tell them bed sheets and broomsticks seem to fly best....

Not sure what the thrust is yet, but we'll have at least two flying this spring. Should have testing under way by May.

I think I heard a rumor of over 200# Thrust unofficially....

Motormount is under re-design and development to accept the three radial impulses....opposed to two lateral ones.. Interesting!!

True.

Guess it depends on how good a prop they have on it now, but my money is on Frank...
