With the much-appreciated help of Graham Singleton and David Joyce, it was moved to my home strip in Derbyshire (Neil France is taking your straps and chocks and a bottle of wine tomorow David, thanks!). Following some minor tweaking under the guidance of Neil France and an engine strip-down, it will hopefully be taking to the air again tomorrow morning for its permit check flight. Hope to see you all around and about in the future.

I have done it a couple times now and I find that it is best to follow the advise of guys like Graham, Neil and David. The bird will need a nose to tail going over. Do not haste to get airborne with the engine touchup only. A good going over will probably yield little structural problems (small delams and the like) but the time spent on a proper condition inspection, then a proper 1st flight preflight checklist of at least Annex E of the manual, and a complete Rotax Annex A (install and commissioning check) combined with your inspectors keen eye will yield a great flying and dependable airplane. We have a real problem in the States with 2nd owners rushing to buy and fly. Often times the poor bird ends up languishing at an airport in neglect because it was sold AS IS with a tire kick annual inspection and only a few hours on it, and the new owner ends up with a laundry list of things to fix or just never fixes it at all and the plane becomes a burden. We look hard at the logbooks, routine maintenance and the build manual for clues. Clean and well done logs, documented engine commissioning, test runs and flight temps, performance notes, proper wt. and balance, as well as a documented fly-off with stall/Vn speeds annotated and descriptions raises our confidence. At least in the UK you have competent inspectors and proper inspection procedures to help new owners. Congratulations.
