Hello John, Well I'm beating my drum for you and beating myself around the ears at the same time for being so far behind you. Really good news mate. > I haven't added up the hours yet, but construction began on October 3rd, 2002 and was completed on April 25, 2006 in a nearly continuous effort. Yeah well that's not bad seeing as you got yourself married in the meantime. Surely you took some time off for that ! Good luck with the flying John and looking forward to hearing all about it.

And yes Cliff, mine sets higher than with the bunjee's.

Bob H G-PTAG under repair. Robt.C.Harrison -----Original Message----- [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Jodel Sent: 01 July 2006 17:05 --> Europa-List message posted by: "Jodel" Hi all, Just a quick note to say that G-BZTN finally got air below her wheels at 1150z today. The feeling is wonderful especially as I was able to make the first flight myself. Much thanks for that must go to Francis Donaldson for being very realistic about experience requirements and John Brownlow for the check out (and Peter Mylem for lending his aircraft). Special thanks must also go to Nev and Andy, all at E'2004 and "Pete the Permit" my long suffering inspector for putting up with my enless queries, goofs etc! Also Francis and Andy must get a mention again for turning round the paperwork in just two working days. Lets hope that this is a sign of the future for PFA engineering. Finally the bit for Rowan: G-BZTN is an XS Trigear/914/arplast. Build time 3200hrs. Weight 934lbs First flight from Perth EGPT. See you all at FFF06! Simon A Smith (no longer a builder!) ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Europa-List http://www.matronics.com/contribution ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 10:48:31 PM PST US From: "JR(Bob) Gowing" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Drum roll, please...........
