That’s a shame indeed. I can attest to the quality of the build, I was down there a couple of months ago when it was nearly finished. I hope someone keen buys it and has fun.

Hi, that's a shame for sure. I reckon she'll be snapped up. I noticed how quiet that engine is. Is that muffler one of the S. Steel, diesel type. I've seen similar on eBay & I'm looking around as the original one is way too heavy. Thanks & cheers from Oz.

There are quite a few gaps as I couldn't get anyone to sign up to the forum and update the posts.


Here's a quick video of its first proper test flight;
