Saw one years ago at the Ballarat airshow with a chev motor in it. Pilot had it at reduced thrust and still very wary of it.

Saw the NZ one at Classic Fighters this year. Still under 40 hours on the clock so nothing outlandish in the aeros but still very slick, very schmik and VERY quick. Ooohhh that engine note, 12 cylinders has definately got it!!

Are you in the aircraft 'deconstruction' business or do you have your photos reversed......?

Tinny I think you transposed those links, or else the Kiwi climate is getting to you. I believe there is one of these babies at Tyabb in Victoria, owned by Jim Wickham.

The boys are having a lot of fun with their "toy". I believe type ratings are progressing well with the only problems being mostly weather related.

It is great to see them walking around with that satisfied grin.

Check out their great website
