Re: What's a Bush Baby ?

Hallo Myr.
When I was at SA kitplanes in November, sorting out our Bush Baby. They had up to that stage sold One hundred and thirty Bush Baby's. That is quite a few. With my minimal experience with them, I have fallen in love with the A/C.
Welcome to our SA.
Regards,
Vernon.
