    I just noticed your colour is similar to Kitfox Jim's plane (second plane to take off in the video). Maybe that is the KitFox you were refering to when you said great colour scheme. I believe Jim had similar family input on his colour.

    Hi all,

    Let me get in first and wish you all a great christmas and new year! Of course, we down under are into summer and the mornings are wonderful for flying. Yesterday I headed to Lake Hume that is a short 30 mile flight. The lake is full at the moment after a very wet winter providing
    plenty of water for irrigating downstream and a wonderful summer playground for holiday makers. A friend has just put in a 400m grass strip on the edge so expect some pics of that soon too! Although summer here, it was 10'c OAT so lovely flying.

    All the best for the coming festive season and great flying to you all!

    cheers

    Thanks for the wishes, Ross!
    We are experiencing a hell of a drought here, with the temp at around 37 to 39 Deg C the other day!
    I went to Addo elephant park a week ago and went through 43 deg Celsius - Ouch!
    I have landed on my bush strip that I mentioned I wanted to establish some time ago.
    I will post some more pics when I can and try and put in a link to uTube.
    Have a very blessed Christmas, All!

    Reid, you are right about the drought and heat. I was in Mozambique a month ago and it was at least 38 C every day and very dry. I went there to help inspect a Cessna Caravan. That was my first time in Africa. Hope you get some rain soon. Merry Christmas.
