Good luck Morph! Seems like the end of an era as you talked about AUK with much gusto!

HI Morph,

Welcome to the builder's world...I hope to see a Morph's airplane building thread soon on the forum.

Congrats, hope you can keep on flying though...All building and no flying makes for a lot of frustration.

Kind Regards
Rudi

Well, money's been paid, AUK finally gone. ZU-BBEXPLORER has been ordered and deposit paid, build number 119, should be ready 6th Dec 2006. In the meantime I am organising to go up to Loeries to deinstall the engine, electrics, and instruments. I negotiated to get the intercom, radio and headsets as well so except for lots of work, and a new prop, I have everything else.

Hi Morph,

Congrats on the new acqusition, great deal. Will be sad to see the empty space in the hanger

for a while, AUKY is a special aerie. Anyway we await the new one. Any help required, only a call away.

All the best,

Rusty

Don't be so sure... wait until you have to find the right drill-bit, piece of hose or tube... the fun is half in finding all these small little things.

The first 90% of the work takes 90% of the time, the last 10% of the work takes the other 90%

:D

But its worth every bit. Enjoy!

Welcome to my world and congratulations on the purchase of your 912 with the trash attached to it

Prepare thyself for hours of fun (and more hours of frustration...and then some more)
I'm enjoying it already :D

Congrats Mr Morphman

Must say I was kinda shocked when you phoned me, being far from home and waiting for a call from the wife or mistress and here I get this good news in a foreign country.

Well, looks like it is going to be you and I in CMY to Stanley Island?

Cheers from the city that never sleeps........any guesses

This has already started trying to get white boards up in the garage and stuff. Damn drill bits, 5mm rawl plugs and only 4.5 or 6mm drill bits. do you drill oversize and use toothpics of undersize wear it out to the right size. Damint

Hi Morph, whent for flip in Monty's plane ZU BUN yesterday, awsome. also placed my order serial nr 121 i THINK. I can't understand why some guys have bad mouthed the bushys before and I bet they have never flown in one. I had to see for myself and the plane sold it self. Felt the same as flying the 150 only more sensitive on the controls and very responsive.

I told Boet that the Bush Baby was twitchy

, I nearly had a size 10 planted firmly where the sun don't shine. Responsive he said, not twitchy, responsive

Congrats on your purchase, they are beautiful planes.

Close, but no cigar

Valencia is the "official" city that never sleeps, but today I am indeed in Barcelona, which probably gets 2nd price for the city that never sleeps

Can't wait to get home now!
