Hello Nick,

As ek geweet het die vliegtuig kom op het ek nooit 'n explorer begin bou nie, maar vir een of ander rede kan ons nie in die toekoms sien nie.

Baie mooi vliegtuig en absoluut 'n winskoop.

Ek glo hy gaan baie gou 'n ander huis kry.

Groete daar.

Yes I will export this plane to Thailand later.
Will go to aviation events here in Thailand for people to see it.
I might get a few orders for this type of plane.
If not then no problem I will still use it.

Thanks Stefan,
It is a good way for me keeping track about the project since I live in Thailand and also for the valuable inputs from
aviators with more experience.
Definite inflight trim.
Fairings and spats? I am not sure.
Definite a transponder.
