Simone Darne WA04009

[PeterB]

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.

mmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................

2 months............... are those the imperial ,metric, or common or garden months

That was in September 2009, so are you using the Greek ,Italian, or Russian Calendar as far as forecasting a finishing/flying date

i am very impressed with the abundance of patience you and your family have.

You obviously do not sufer from "the are we there yet" syndrome:evil:

What is the secret

Loads of Valium in the corn Flakes

Things a little tight, so been busy concentrating on the business . It’s my wife who’s Irish and introduced me to the Irish calendar. However we have now discovered that it is actually the SOUTH AFRICAN LABOUR (Traffic Department) calendar as it goes something like this January, February March, March, March, March. Anyway, we’re getting there slowly, as mentioned before; if you need a pax Simone would love to go with you in your Whisper. We will get there, we will get there, we will get there .Cheers Philip

Just a short report. We've decided to instal the Luggage compartment/box. So ordered that today. I was at Dene to help him move the airplanes around, so that we can get ours finished. Simone is now harassing me to have the plane finished.

We've hit a little snag, we're too heavy on the tail wheel....we now need to move the engine forward to get the c of g correct, thanks to all who are assisting us.

Will do, we're having to extend the engine mount to ensure c of g within limits.
