Thanks for the kind words everybody, Just went for another 2 flights this morning.
What great feeling this is :)

Kip, yes that tail wheel bracket made it all the way down under, works great too!
Bryan, that's why we install the wings upside-down here :D
Sonex1081, it sure is Wollongong, my new base.
Brett, I'm sure you will see me around some time in the future, but first things first and fly off those 35h of phase 1 testing...

Thanks again everybody :)

I'll send you a PM when it happens, shouldn't be too long :) I've got Mittagong in my phase 1 test area.

Probably a bit later but I'll definitely make it there one day in the not too distant future
