And another two years later.

This is probably the world's slowest blog! The Max is happy and flies as often as weather will allow, now fitted with a fine liquid crystal ribbon tacho, pressure gauge and fuel gauge which has made a big difference to the flying. Being more confident about how much fuel is on board has made the sorties steadily longer. There is a VSI in the instrument as well although it isn't as I want it yet but it has made space for a GPS on the panel. Radio is now a Yazoo which sounds better than the old Icom and the battery lasts a long time. The engine, now run in well is smooth and sweet and, following a new ignition box is a much less reluctant starter than it hitherto was. Another tweak- gloves for starting. Saves my knuckles and lets me give a robust pull on the string.
I am hoping to buy a two seater soon. Can't afford a four stroke so it will probably be a Rans with a 503 or, if it can be afforded, a 582. Roll on that day!
