    Its a new kit. I noticed that, not realy sure. Not sure on the tank, which is best? Won't be getting it with the engine. Would converting the brakes to dual hydro's be a easy and good upgrade, or are the cable ones fine? I like the straight trailing edge and the diamond plate floor panels if they are aluminum.

    I have had a rotax 2 stroke before. Although it was a good engine, I really like the HKS since its a 4 stroke and uses less fuel(and not mixed!) Would really like a turbo but don't have that much to put on a engine, plus found a 300hr 700e for $6000. The cruise speed is why I like the speed wing, I think it makes up for the 25-50ft extra on take off and landing for the speed going somewhere IMHO, what do you think?

    If I was to get it for around $8000 would that be a reasonable price?


    Thanks, Ben

    Thinking about buying, what do you think?
    Does it look ok? Any thing I should look for? It says its a C model but has some abnormalities so I'm not sure? Would be putting a HKS 700e on it if I get it, would that be a good choice?
