Hi Peter,
Simone is getting on OK still needs three subjects?? As for our beauty, we're still waiting for the EFIS. Dean has been very busy with our cowling, he really does go the extra mile :D :D :D :D

The EFIS (MGL Enigma) has arrived, but Dean has been busy finishing another Whisper. This having been done, he'll now concentrate on finishing ours, he estimates about two months. :D :D :D

Hi all, we were at Uitenhage today 16th December 2009 a small gathering of EAA organized by Rego Burger, who test flew ZU-EOY last Sunday. Dene took our plane to the airport and put it on display, not yet finished, but it will go quickly from here on. A few more pics. :mrgreen: :D :D
