@wescanfly Thanks Wes, we're lucky to live in such a scenic place and have the freedom to fly almost anywhere, it still sucks when it's windy and rainy though ;-) Pete

Hi

Is it a "home made" FLPHG ?

[flyingleek]

@bidulm It's a Swedish Aerosport Mosquito with a better harness on it, a high power exhaust and a silencing airbox. Pete

@bidulm The exhaust note is noticeably quieter and less annoying. There may be a slight increase in power though I haven't got any measurements of climb rate to compare it with as I changed the exhaustt very soon after getting the unit. Pete
