Hey Tribal

CAA said Alex Rudd must test fly her, he is not available for another 2 weeks yet to go :( .
So no i have not. Was hoping for Yesterday but well it was not to be. (Although the WX was perfect) So flew .8 in the pink lady.

There is a group of us flying down to the Vaal Tomorrow - Will be flying the Pink lady till i can get the conversion and the Gemini in the Air.
Problem is i keep tinkering and this is seriously not a good thing. :? - BUT i now have wing tip lights, Kingpost Light, Busy with a rearward facing light that is really Kickass and Bright (Flashing / not a strobe). So getting really itchy to get her into the Air.

Soon i hope SOON -0< -0< -0< -0<

Hi All

She is Finished. Waiting for her test flight -0< -0< - Saturday put the Skirt on, fastened the Small tank into position, Did some high speed Taxi runs up and down the runway, prop still needs some adjustment. One spat is broken and not sure how that happened but will take it off and have a good look. But She is ready to fly.

The Radio mount almost finished. Still very rough but looking good.

Nice Gav, lets see her Fly now.

A birdie told me that you going to the croc farm at the end of the month? Is WWF going to make the trip?

Ntokozo is surely within the proving flight radius otherwise just ask for permission to include - should not be a problem.
