The UK CAA have confirmed this week that all professional licence holders
should by now have received their English language certificates, and that
the "private" licence categories are now being processed at the rate of 500
per day.

| Subject: | The trials of fitting |
Though I place myself midway within the range of builders' sense of
precision in their respective aircraft, I CANNOT BELIEVE the friggin
time I've spent (and continue to spend) in the process of fitting the
canopy doors, the hinges, rebates, and shoot bolts to achieve a modest
fit.
The manual includes an innocuous statement to the effect of "trial fit
until you're happy"...I've lost count of the trial fits...its been
indeed a trial...and I've had a number of fits...
Foolish me...thinkin this part of the build would be a quick piece of
cake...

I hear you fred, some of the jobs the manual glosses over in one sentence I
have spent a couple of days fine tuning to get
to an acceptable level before glassing in / attaching etc. Mind you I have
also seen some much faster easier ways to do
some of the jobs to get the same result in the end instead of following the
build manual to the letter.

Gents,
Days? How 'bout weeks and months on some simple one line tasks.
But, don't get discouraged. It will be done and flying one day.
Right now, it's jJust like eating an elephant. One bite at a time.
See Y'all in Oshkosh if I can just get over this flu and back to work.
Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger

I KNOW THIS WONT APPEAL TO EVERYONE, BUT IT'S WORTH NOTING ANYWAY.
This has just been announced. Apparently NATS have been working on it for
some time. It might even be as good as the French OLIVIA system, or the
Austrian system

Fred,
You have a habit of making me soo happy. Those doors took me 6 months. Including
the walk-away and see later days. Felt pretty stupid at times too :-) So it's
kind of nice to see that i am not the only one. But once you are through this,
fitting anything else is easy! It's probably the doors stage that made people
invent the 90% done 90% to go rule.
Eh, just keep at it, it's worth it!
Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen
