Paul,
Graham is here from the 4th till the 11th. Big plans to put the cockpit module
in, but I'll take as much as I can, so to speak. I am not that hopeful, but
some consolidated building would be good. If I can get all the flight controls
in that would be good, and maybe the fuel tank. Not really much more to the
cockpit module I know, but I simply can't imagine getting all that work done.
Kingsley Hirst from Taroom is coming down on Sunday for the best part of a week
and is going to help me build a fuselage cradle first up. This should be a
great help, as he is also bringing down his profiles. I havent decided which
engine but it appears it will be the 914 by default. There is a mob in New
Zealand who would love me to put there Subaru conversion in, and combine with
an Airmaster prop. I could possibly get a tax deduction out of the aeroplane if
I did that too which might make it attractive. Lots of water to go under the
bridge yet, before I need to make those sorts of decisions, but I truly don't
want to give up and I have high hopes of getting the lid on this year, if all
goes well.

Tony R.
P.S. I'd still love a rotary though.!!!!
