New to Microlighters - ZU FCD Maiden flight
Hi All
I've been on Avcom for a while now. But I just saw the Bushbaby drivers/builders are quite active over here!
So, here I am!! Hope to learn lots from the clever people, laugh at (or is it, WITH) the funny people and just enjoy our passion: FLYING
I own Bushbaby (to be) sn 087. I finished the first 70% of the project, but thanks to work and family commitments, will Monty J complete the final 70%. For those who are interested, a 912S will be pulling upfront, together with a 72" 3 blade Warp drive. Right at the back will be a tiny tail wheel. Hopefully we'll be flying within the next eight weeks or so.
Will (try) to post a few pics soon.
Happy to be hear....

The first 90% takes 90% of the time.
The remaining 10% takes 90% of the time.

Re: New to Microlighters!!
Normal project management work on the basis that you finish the first 80% of the job in 20% of the time, and the last 20% normally would take about 80% of the time.John Young wrote:BulldustZAZU wrote:NOOOO. 70+70=100% That last 70% just never ends....
