10 hours in. I have to finally admit after all the hype this group gives about the flying characteristics of the Murphy planes that I been reading for the last couple years, I was always a skeptic. But today I will say you are all correct. My airplane has been handling great, lands nice, takes off like a rocket. I couldn't be happier. I am almost certain this Elite will out perform the Husky.
I am getting close to warm weather and want to remove the doors for a little more excitement. Is there any concerns doing this as far as handling goes? Do I need to tie down anything under 25# in the cockpit?
So far the MAM fiberglass cowl has been ok with the stock inlets. Warmest day yet here at 74F and yet to see a CHT over 400, cruise is normally 325.

Hey Mike
Good to be reminded of an excellent end product, and nice to hear you're
having fun. Couple questions:
Did you do the engine rework yourself (besides parts sent out)?
Anything different from stock mags and carb?
What prop and empty weight did you end up with?
