Hate to bother, but could we get a photo of the panel and what is normal cruise speed with the stol kit? Thanks

Could you post some pictures? Sounds like a nice airplane.

How adjusted?

Congratulations! They are a lot of fun.

1, The 450 works about 90-110 mph or so depending upon whether spraying with the pump and booms versus dragging the dry material spreader. The 600 will work around 110-130. The turbines will work 120-140. 2. What's that? :D :smile: 3. I really haven't kept up with the round motor operating...

Great photos and writeup. Thanks!

Nice video. What kind of camera are you using?
