Hi all,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Just a quick note to say that G-BZTN finally got air below her wheels at 1150z today. The feeling is wonderful especially as I was able to make the first flight myself. Much thanks for that must go to Francis Donaldson for being very realistic about experience requirements and John Brownlow for the check out (and Peter Mylem for lending his aircraft).
Special thanks must also go to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Nev and Andy, all at E’2004 and “Pete the Permit” my long suffering inspector for putting up with my enless queries, goofs etc! Also Francis and Andy must get a mention again for turning round the paperwork in just two working days. Lets hope that this is a sign of the future for PFA engineering.
Finally the bit for Rowan:
G-BZTN is an XS Trigear/914/arplast. Build time 3200hrs. Weight 934lbs First flight from Perth EGPT.
See you all at FFF06!
