Well i can see from your photo's that you hav'nt got around to chopping the roof off your f150 yet bruce (to blow a bit of fresh air thru the old brainbox) PLUS! that engine looks a mighty weed wackerish 
beautiful aeroplane mate.
Okc spot on with your sanding boards mate,it's a pleasure to use them.
Sr i checked the drawings and measurements you get with a new saito engine but could only guess at the 115's crankcase dia without removing the engine and measuring it.
Dave! have you test flown the bush hawk yet

Thats my Royal PITA POS you are talking about there! I hate that truck. Been in the shop 23 days so far, 5 just this week and still in. Only had it 14 months. I miss my 2014 that did everything I needed it to do. Haul my FA to work every day, haul my planes and trailer to the flying field, and haul my travel trailer and family up and over I-70 to Utah on vacation. It sadly met it's end on an icy road when another driver lost control and slid across my lane in front of me. The red one in the picture I am so frustrated with that I am ready to let a Lipo slip under a seat and get crushed.
That so called weedwacker engine is a DA 100. I would prefer a 4 stroke, but Saito doesn't make one in 100CC that runs on gas.

and Diesel engines Ha ha.
I really like the looks of the 4 door or crew cabs and 8’ beds. 4” lift. With some proportional tires and wheels.
Well shoot just give me a truck that looks like BigFoot and i will be happy.

yeah we live on the same latitude. This weather is starting to suck. Nice during the week and then cold rainy and snowing on the weekends

My 95 F 150 has 215,000 on it and the engine is as quiet as when new. Other than a fan clutch, an alternator and a starter it hasn't needed much, brakes of course. With a 3" FlowMaster exhaust it sounds like it has a 460.

Well i will get back to you on that. New engine two new transmissions, brakes and tires like you would think I own stock. And the rust wow when it starts boy. Heard a rattle the other day and Then a click bang thunk and the rattle was gone.

Not for $1,000 it isn't!
Going to need a bigger trailer in the next few years as I add more builds. A B-25 101" span, a P-61 114" span, a B-29 149" span, and a B-17 112" span. Two twins, two Quads. The first two are kits, the last two plans only.

that thing looks way to feminine which may be why it's giving you so many drama's mate,trust me.When it was brand new you should have taken it straight to the body shop and had the roof cut off,then got the interior fully trimmed in genuine saddle leather that's been rubbed in castor oil,kinda makes it smell like a good saito engine then...specially with the heater on.Next time you panic on an icy road and get the squirts that leather is safe as houses friend ps going to take the ducati for a gallop up to the york m/c show tomorrow,plenty of radar traps along the way but this is what you slow down for,never bet serious money on which way they will jump

I used a light duty load distributing hitch and the car had self leveling rear suspension.
