Thanks Morph as you know the current status, I'm very keen to see what other guys have done as I need to make this babe mine and put my(skid) mark on her....over and above the starter! But I'm totally in love!.... Might move into the hangar!!!
Can't wait to be let loose and go fly. Doing the conversion thing and hope to be clear soon.

Skidmarks: Last I heard you were flying a rather pretty Kitfox (with a motor of dubious parentage). When did you become aeronautically Challenged?? How about posting some pics?

Grif old pal the Kitfox got the better of me! Taildraggers are hard to master and with my work commitment I don't have enough spare time to spend learning to fly her ....only Saturdays. Driving up and down to my friend up north was very hard work. Then this offer was made and I decided to bail. I'm very happy and I own her on my own!
:D

Cool then we neighbours I'm at Morningstar. Go to Wintervogel fairly regularly. Usually with the late Junkie now got to do it myself. Getting the feel of the Challenger far easier to fly just need to get the finals and landing polished. :D

Skidmark,
Correct, Derek Schaftenaar bought it from Paul when I bought Derek's trike BCW from him, then Derek sold the Challenger to me when he opted to go the gyro route. I said to Derek it now stops with the Challenger.
