Trip to Nylstroom was very lekker, now for the final stretch. Tekkies on.

Like Gavin said " Now she is a real Englishman, got some shoes on"

Thanks to everyone that followed the build and a big thanks to Stephan.

Landed in Maputo at 09:15 this morning. The trip was literally a breeze. This aircraft is any LSA owners dream, smooth and forgiving!

Will up load a pic or two from the journey.
