Congratulations Jac, well done after 8 years it is worth it. I took 7.
New chapter now, flying it which is very rewarding as it lives up to its
name.
Have a great time in the air.
Cheers,
Tim

After eight years of stumbling down and getting up again, hope and
despair, many nights of puzzling and as many of working, lying still for
weeks and taking up the thread again, it is finally so far. PH-LOB (nr.
394) took to the air on Wednesday 25 April 2007 in the capable hands of
it's developer and test-pilot Ivan Shaw.
Ivan's comment on the first line of the journal: "All controls and
stability good. No wing drop. An excellent flying aircraft."
The fun can start now. And I am not just a little proud of that!
Jack
