Hi everyone

The only close up photo I have of the old girl getting airborne. Taken a couple of Sundays ago on it's first 2.7hr cross country run. We flew to a small airport along the way which was having a fly-in for the day with some warbirds present.

Since then the weather has not been great, hoping to be out again on some more cross country runs as we finish running in engines.

Morning Chaps

I thought it was time I gave a quick update on the old girl, and yes I will post some photos

. We managed to put 12hrs of flight time in before I spent the last 4 months of 2017 O/S. Majority of the flights were short and within an hour of the airport, with the odd cross country run as well.

December 27th we hit the skies over NSW once more, this time all cross country with flights between 2 & 3 hours. Over the next few weeks we put another 15hrs of flight time as I became more familiar with the old bus.

The plane has performed brilliantly.

Now back O/S once more, she is fuelled and ready for my return in a couple of months.

Dave
PS: Absolutely worth every cent and the man hours to bring her back to life, just can't stop smiling.

Fantastic. You've done an incredible job.

Keep building up those hours.
