Thank you Raimo and of course also my congratulations to you. Sorry for
being so late with that. As a matter of fact we are three 8-year builders
with a maiden flight within one week. Together with me Ivan also made a
first flight with Klaas de Geus' monowheel XS PH-GES on the same day. His
builder's number was 391. A good chance that the three of us will meet
sometime in future. Must be a nice picture: Two mono's with one tri in
between. OH-XRT --- PH-LOB --- PH-GES.
Enjoy flying your pride and joy after all these years!
Hals- und Beinbruch,
Jack

I share your feelings
- be proud but do not explode.
Our rate of building has been
quite same (#394 vs 417).
Congrats!
Raimo

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
