Bushbaby # 130 to fly today

I received my authority for proving flights on Friday and today she will take to the skies.

There are some pictures on the members projects and we will post some more after the flight.

Thanks everyone.

Very sad luck, on the run up Mike Cathro shut down due to fuel in the cockpit.

We found the header tank is cracked and will need to be repaired.

Ja Boet. These sleepless nights are not only pre flight jitters, although I was going throught Morph's ramp list, weight & balance etc to make sure docs were correct so that I had time in daylight for real stuff.
What's keeping me awake is a 6+mil house I have to be finished by 31 Aug or I have a 100 000.00 penalty plus 2500.00 per day late, still have a lot to do, but its the extra hours at night that give me time in the day to be on site.

Will keep you posted.
