I bought a 2003 MK1 built by a old craftsman in Cody,WY abought a year ago. I have about 145 hours on it and he flew it only about 300. It is power by a 0-200 cont. I flys awesome. Easy to fly and maintain. We live at 5500 ft. and regularly fly between 5500 and 10000 feet. On warm days our density alt is usually between 6500 and 9000 feet. The plane has no bad habits and a good useful load.Completed my dry weight is 775#. I was sceptical to buy it but when I saw Spruces supporting sales and parts I didnt hesitate. I own other air craft foe traveling distances but by far is the funnest to just fly in the evening or the $100 hamburgar. Very roomy cabin front and rear.Great visibility. Its a keeper. The builder said it was as clean a kit he had ever built.

I received the info I was looking for Thanks
