Many congratulations.
I would be very interested sometime in your experiences. My co-
builder Richard and I are both currently non flyers and getting into
the latter stages (we hope) of our very prolonged build. It has
always concerned me that taking on a mono with low airtime was a big
ask - your experience to date might suggest otherwise.
Regards
