Hello and happy new millenneum to all.We're finishing the W&B for Larry Harrison's Chrysler-powered Scout.Do you guys know any W&B numbers for any flying Scouts? Or who to call toask. The 4 cyl Chrysler engine weighs in at 244 lbs so seems to fit prettyclosely to the A-model (or so I'm told, aint never tried to pick one up...).It's 99% complete and waiting on Mr. FAA to AOK. I'll let you guys know howit flies.By the way, I got to fly Poplar Piet today. WOWWWW! What a blast. Withthe exception of my sloppy, 4 foot bounce upon landing (I did gather it upand managed to recover into a decent landing) it was more fun than Iimagined. For all you guys building or thinking of it.YES! It IS as much fun as you think it will be!Anyway back to the Scout, thanks in advance for any weight and balance info.I promise to try to get some pictures up on my site by Sunday if possibleHappy new Year,Bert________________________________________________________________________________
