G-REJP finally took to the air this Monday under the very professional hands
of John Brownlow at Cambridge, UK.
It was a long slog but always enjoyable - OK maybe not the mountain of
sanding I left until the end :)
Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way with advice and tips. In
particular a big thanks to Tony Kay, my PFA inspector who kept me on track
and had a seemingly supernatural ability to anticipate my mistakes.
He's the scary one in the hat coarsening up the prop as I was smiling too
much to touch a screwdriver.
