Today Dave Taylor took to the sky for the first time. He and Carl Botha built from a basic package and have a Subaru engine installed. They are based at Howick in KZN.
Dave called with the good news minutes after touchdown and understandably he was running on a very rich mixture of adrenalin at that moment.
The thrill of building your own aircraft and doing the test flight yourself is something very special. I doubt he'll forget today easily!
Well done Dave and Carl

Dave used his cellphone to call me last sunday whilst doing his first engine off thermalling flight. He was indicating 4m/s up at the time and was nearing cloudbase. Somewhere near Midmar dam in KZN
