Hi, my name is Ken and I live in Great Falls, MT. I'm not really into flying but my brother Terry is. He's the one that is putting the RX1 snowmobile engine in an Avid that has a little write-up in the 4 stroke engine section. I just made a trip down south to Arizona to bring him the engine for it. I'm waiting patiently to see his plane fly. It should be a world of difference going from a 503 Rotax to the 140 horse RX1 engine. I'm into snowmobiles as my biggest money spending hobby. I've been riding a 03 RX1 mountain sled since Nov. 2002. It has a homebuilt turbo system on it that I made and has run as high as 330 hp at 20 pounds of boost but In my older and smarter years I have turned it down to about 240 hp which makes it a lot more fun to ride. Hopefully his plane will be ready to fly in the near future. I want a ride .

He was telling me that you came down for the  airshow. He needs to get himself a name and get on here.
