Thanks for the info so far. All info to me is helpful. Yes it is a 532 motor, low hours since built. Been sittin now 8-10 years inside storage. But has been started least once a year, Has three blade ground adjustable prop,foldin wings, bigger tires, droop tips, balistics shoot, cabin heater, and a set of "owner say" factory kitfox skis, and a new set of windows for whole plane. I am good with small engines, have rebuilt many snowmachine motors and built a few streetrods from scratch, planes just a little new adventure. Hope to chat with akflyer sometime, since sounds like he has simular plane. Thanks again
