    That's Ryan Barker on his way to deliver my latest build (N60BH) to it's new owner in California. Nice landing Ryan!

        I have a couple more videos from the flight that I’ll try to get posted on YouTube. Hopefully Gary (the new owner) will post some pics/videos here when he has time.

            Collin Campbell your ability to put these things together is amazing. Can I just spend a summer out at your place and pick your brain? I think that would save me time in the long run.

              Great job Collin Campbell! How did this one weigh in with the lighter engine but more interior options and wheels?

                This one come in at 1597 lbs. Not sure what the difference in engine weight is, but we added the aux tanks /pumps/ plumbing, third row seat/ windows/ seat belts/ float fittings, landing lights, strobes/ position lights. With the G3X system there are a lot of wires! Still a good decent empty weight though with all the extras.... Collin

              Collin Campbell another fabulous machine. How did the weight and balance work out? Does it still require the additional ballast?

                Collin is probably still in the shop building Model 5 #3. Not sure what happened to the rest of my post, but it should have said 65# in the red airplane vs 152# in the prototype.

                  Can you be more specific? Are you saying 65# ballast puts you at the forward end of the CG envelope when flying solo?

                Correct. Basically 2 weights (vs 4 in the prototype) to keep you inside the forward edge of the envelope.
