    Hi Steve,

    Saw your first flight video. Great job! Most folks don't do nearly as good a job as you did in memorializing this fantastic moment.

     Steve, I am building a 3.0 WW and Dan Weseman Corvair. Have just run across a 50% complete 601HD built by an aviation sheet metal worker. Great workmanship.

    Since  you have now flown your HD for awhile, what type of numbers are you getting for cruise? How about stall speed? How did your empty weight turn out?

    Might want to build one. Looking for a real "two up", fuel and baggage. So far, not that lucky. Several of the 601XLB's  I've asked about are well over 820 lbs essentially making them a single seater.

    Thanks for your input,

    Doug Eaton
