His work is rather hardcoe I
must say. His kit is the one that I have been thinking of useing for my
bird.

That LP1 is quite a piece of work - beautifully done.  My first thought was
too bad he didn't design it around turbo 20B so he could get a better cowl
shape up front.  I'm sure they've done the math, but with that heavy engine
that far forward, and the passengers and fuel basically at the C.O.L. of the
wing, there must be a significant induced drag on the horizontal stabilizer
keeping the nose up.
