Its has been a while since the last post, but we have made good progress.
Sexy wingstips are done ,painted and mounted. Wing root fairings moulded an installed in place. We got the shock suspension tailwheel put together and mounted. Engine installation is finished with the prop and spinner mounted. The panel is basically done, with jut some minor interior decorations to do.
Next step is replace the "speed gear" with "Bush gear".
In the meantime our paperwork is sent in to CAA and as soon as we get the go ahead we will be flying.

Thanks Stefan, the Buffalo gear shocks worked well straight out the box.

More test flying done and growing the envelope with each flight. Listen to the feedback from the very experienced test pilot.

It has been an exciting couple of weeks since the successful first flight of our prototype. We ended up on the front page of 2 aviation publications with very nice articles about the aircraft.

It has been a while since our last post here, so here's a quick update.
The prototype has now successfully flown over 120 hours and we really could not be any happier with the performance, there where very few changes in design required going to production.
Production has is underway and the first customer aircraft will be flying soon with a couple more following.
