Thought I might share this for you fellow pilots....
Given that I'm about to start building a GT40, my eldest is starting college soon, and the wife thinks I have too many hobbies anyway...I decided to try and bring on a partner or two for my airplane. So, just in case there is a fellow pilot in the San Jose area looking for a sweet ride...

BTW - The name "231" comes from the airplane's speed in MPH. And yes, it will easily cruse at over 200 MPH at an altitude of 24,000 ft while sipping 13 gallons per hour of AV gas. It will out run, out turn and out climb a 40, just don't ask it to stop quick. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
