No problem John, let me know comments and suggestions if any.

Regards the small KAK and too many poepols already trying to climb on it, ... - you are indeed correct sir, probably why this sport is so small and stagnant! pity though because so many pilots or potential pilots could be enjoying the freedom of flight in an affordable way if things were different.

Anyways, kyk noord and @+- voord

Absolute pleasure John, glad to help out a fellow cheetah owner!

I know you will be impressed with the brakes, you'll see.

CXO is back on her wheels... Need to replace all the Nylocs though as the harsh sea air does not take any prisoners here.... DONE

Also have to modify the spat bracket for the hydraulic line.... DONE

Some additional TLC on the exhaust outlet pipe and a spot or two on the silencer and then....

WE GO FLY!!! (^^)

In short Mike, Turbo has been introduced to the subtle behind the scenes politics within aviation...

Ag gents, it's such a pity about the bullshitters in this game (sorry for the swear word, but it's the only word I can use to describe) :( the sport would be that much better, larger, and trustworthy if these politics never existed...

Anyways - AWACS, how are the brakes doing, haven't seen any comments from you, let us know your thoughts.

John, when you finally fit yours, and bleed them , let us know your thoughts too.

The other sets supplied are to guys without Internet, or interest to participation a forum, be that as it may.

Charlie Whiskey - tomorrow I will have yours completed, and will post pics on the forum for all to see, apologies for the long time taken with yours, it's been a hectic week for me!! :?
