What are they using for a PSRU Baz? IMHO the  Renesis is  reliable at

240

HP.

If you want economy you can always throttle back.

Baz,
How much was the kit Baz - I spoke to the chap at Cobra and he didn't

know

that much about Mazda's when I spoke to him. The last I heard he was

working

with Leon in Sydney

Advice to me was he was someone who needs to be watched as he hasn't

been in

the aircraft building game for long.
Who knows how or where that comes from, perhaps professional jealousy.

Oh oh we are in trouble now :) You and I George are among the few people

on here

that have actually met Leon.

Paul,
You don't know the half of  it, I just don't feel comfortable saying too
much - I think it's a case of 'Buyer Beware'.

BTW a local chap advised me that the Kis is out of production, is that true,
if so, what happened ?
George (down under)

A couple of things. The guy that bought Kis kind of dropped the ball.
I don't think he ever truly got his act together on making any
of the models he had molds for. I'll let Vance fill us in if he will as he knows
far more about it than I do. The molds are still around so perhaps they
will resurface.
