Cool video. I've seen 1/2 or 3/4 homebuilts but never full size. Now he needs to do a 109.

Very nice Harold! Sure is a labor of love.
Keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down!

Hi.
Nice video , but i noticed is method for stopping anything from grtting into the exhaust outlets , could prove interesting , if he ever forgot to remove the tennis balls prior to start up.
regards alan.

I was trying to find a little more info on this airplane and found this link. I was wondering who this guy was and his flying experience. Tuns out he is a retired airline pilot.
