    Hello Terry  I flew my 601 for over 40 hrs. before the upgrade. The biggest difference is that it does not make any more oil can sounds. I flew the AMD production model for 3 hours to get transition training and my airplane handles the same. I can not beleive how much my wife likes to fly in it. Enjoy it your going to have fun. Roger

    Hi I took my transition training at Holland also. Coupled that with my flight review. The mains came out to about 320 and the nose about 200 I think, will have to go to the airport and check my weight and balance sheet. I replaced the starter with a light weight and the generator with an alternator. I also reversed the landing gear so the wheels are closer to the nose wheel than on the plans. Roger

    Hi Terry  I am going out to the hanger on Sat. Will look up the balance sheet. My warp drive is not very heavy and it is ground adjustable. I adjust it for the winter and the summer. I add more pitch for the winter and it really performs well in the cold weather. I will check if I have the weight of it.Rog
