Peter Magnus is completeing the build, will be ready for final painting in the next week. Not long to go. This is my wings to Numbi this year and still have the proving hours to do before Numbi, so we are going to do A LOT OF FLYING in the next 2 months.

I am not fitting the slats, are fitting VG's
Instruments: MGL iEFIS panel, MGL V06 Panel Radio, Transponder: Sandia STX165R – Class 2 – Mode C, ASI, Altimeter and Turn and slip.
Also did Dual stick
Colour: Ice White. Cyril Manser is going to do some stripes and stuff on the sides

Nice aerries, very spacious.
Speak with Philip from Bundu Aviation of a what someone included next to their fuel tank inspection nozzle.
