    Great Job John, The difference between a good airplane and a great airplane is the time and detail put in by the builder. You have done us all proud.

Thankfully the flight did not show up any significant problems. The systems used on this short flight all worked, and the stall was benign. "She is a good one" was Pete's verdict. G-JHKP is powered by a Rotax 912S and has an Airmaster constant speed propeller. Empty weight is 864lbs. Build hours add up to a staggering 3600 hours, spread over nine years. The aircraft was painted by Murray Flint, who did a great job (see the attached pictures). I would like to thank my inspector, Ron Speer, for the support he has given me over the past nine years. I would also like to thank Brian Davies for helping me to get the plane up to a standard where it was ready for its final inspection. John Heykoop
