Hi RV,

Hang in there, it may seem like the darkest night right now, but all cases do come to an end and then you can pick up the pieces and get on with your life.

Have walked the plank 3 times myself and it does not get easier.

Vasbyt boet my ex's all have more wrinkels than me now :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Explorer will take to the skies and you will enjoy her.

Kind regards,

Gunter Rostek.

Hey Andre, I am sure nobody was judging you (well I hope not at least)! We are all just very keen to see this one fly but as they say all good things come with time! I hope you are back on your feet (and back in the air) soon :!:

Sterkte boet (^^)

Well, the long travelled road is slowly getting shorter, I managed to put R5k together last week & R2.5k this week to pay Boet some hard earned cash, sorry I cannot do more right now, but the light she is starting to see the end of the tunnell.

Don't know. I just been kicked out of my hangar at Rand which was where she was going to be, although unfortunately this was supposed to be partnership deal, so I doubt I be able to keep her long term. Will be for sale soon after complete unless I win lotto. I will fly off 40hrs poving flight and then maybe do a jolly patrollie round country?

As for hangar maybe Petit if I can find a hangar that can take 3 aeries for reasonable price, else?

Need to tally up all the slips. Been WIP for ±3 years so there is a paper trail as long as my arm and files on 3 pc's :oops: :oops: :oops:
Guestemate ballpark cost would be in region of R400k give or take...... What it will sell for is another story given K@K economy at present.... Maybe I laaik it stukkend and keep it, but that I think is a pipe dream....
