Here's my LS-1 with the Morse Propeller Speed Reduction Unit (PSRU) installed. The LS-1 stock composite intake manifold is intentionally installed backwards so the Airflow Performance fuel injection's Mass-Airflow sensor/throttle-body in the rear and closer to the VORTEC Supercharger. This configuration also prevents from having an unsightly extra-large bulge in the forward engine cowl. The blue AN fitting on the left is for the oil input coming from the constant speed propeller governor enroute to the propeller. In the background, the "last" Jaguar that George Morse built (and its for sale!).

George recently decided to retire from aircraft manufacturing and sold the Prowler Aviation Inc. business to a gentleman in Michigan who will relocate to Redding, CA., and re-establish the Jaguar kitplanes back into production. The details are now being worked out and the timeline is still unclear, but rest assured, the Jaguar Kitplanes will return soon!


Got to participate at the "Thunder In The Sky" Fly-in airshow at Auburn, CA. Check it out- our good friend Duncan Miller had a couple of friends fly his 1940 Piper J-3C "Cub" to the show and we had an opportunity to fly out of the airhow in formation. We even got to do a "High-Speed" pass while in formation!!! I think we may have even broke the sound barrier at about 85 mph! Loads of fun! Travelling to different airports & places in formation is so much more fun than just going there by your self. Note also that we (and they) had our windows and doors open on our warm August flight - not something you can normally do in most Cessnas! (Thanks Don Welch for this image)
