| Subject: | The child is born! |
After eight years of stumbling down and getting up again, hope and despair,
many nights of puzzling and as many of working, lying still for weeks and
taking up the thread again, it is finally so far. PH-LOB (nr. 394) took to
the air on Wednesday 25 April 2007 in the capable hands of it's developer
and test-pilot Ivan Shaw.
Ivan's comment on the first line of the journal: "All controls and stability
good. No wing drop. An excellent flying aircraft."
The fun can start now. And I am not just a little proud of that!

Congratulations, Jac. At least you made it in the end. Now all you have to
do is get behind the controls yourself. 8 years ? I would never have had the
patience myself.
Best regards,
Karl

Congratulations Jac, well done after 8 years it is worth it. I took 7.
New chapter now, flying it which is very rewarding as it lives up to its
name.
Have a great time in the air.
Cheers,

Regarding Craig Catto's props, in my email exchanges with him, Craig
has been very leery of the Rotax hub due to the forces his 3 bladed
wood props generate; he much prefers, at a minimum, a SAE 1 hub/bolt
circle for adequate bearing.
