      I´ll bet Scrappy can jump up with the front gear up, even without the engine running,
      i´m pretty sure mike build kinda a lowrider/jumping car setup with these KingShocks,
      using the pressure of the Oxygen bottle.. Why?
      Stol Drags.. start with the shocks at no pressure, and a low height, avoiding drag from the Wings to get to Takeoff Speed even fastere,
      and as he hits the JUMP Scrappy JUMP button,
      the Shocks and the massive travel they have will catapult Scrappys front up to get an massive Angle of attack..
      and let the 780cui engine deal with the drag.. which it will be easy capable of pulling kinda 90° verical up
      This thing is a SToL Top Fuel Dragster while Draco was(and will be again) kinda an STOL SUV with lots of Power

    I am always impressed by your attention to detail with your engineering Mike. There is no “cutting corners” or “close enough is good enough” approach with your aircraft builds. The most recent example where you took the time to manufacture the throttle and mixture control bell crank levers with ball bearings instead of plain bushings is just another example of going that extra yard and is fantastic.

    I have no words that can convey the emotions you are creating with this build. You are above and beyond most of us. Thank you for taking the time needed to show us, FOR FREE, the insane amount of work it takes to build a flyable work of art. Two thumbs up and Know you have inspired everyone that's been exposed to the privilege of your videos. Carry on with your bad ass self!!
