I have one of these too.... actually, had. I dropped it from standing height onto the concrete floor of my workshop a few months ago. I almost cried. It has been sitting unused ever since, just can't bring myself to the point of throwing it out.

I LOVE the sound of 3-pots! You guys are right, that thing sounds amazing! I've loved the 3pot sound since a mate of mine owned one of these about 20 years ago: (sorry, it's not a plane... and it's not home-built, but it is an engine ;) ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkSuM1RAd4Y
