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.

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.
