CUA from my home at Gatton Airpark in Queensland Australia.

of many others before me, I=99d just like to say to those still doing
what I have been doing for so long . . . . keep at it, the reward is worth
it!

> In anticipation of possibly having to do surgery to accommodate our hot co
nditions, I have not yet painted the engine cowlings or applied any pin stri
ping but as things progress, those items will be forthcoming.
> The main wheel fairing and outrigger fairings were left at home for the fi
rst flight too.
