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!

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.

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.
