    Thank you.....

    We arrived back from Bali last night and went off to get a good nights sleep! 5am had me up and checking the weather - absolutely perfect! No clouds, no wind! So, what can a boy with a Certificate of Airworthiness and a nice new Kitfox do on a day like that .... Ummmmm??? I know ....

    I decided to only give 30 minutes notice to the inner circle to get to the airport (interesting how many people still asleep at that hour!) - Gayle included - no time to build up anxiety in everyone.

    Anyway, courtesy of Gayle, here is the video and I guess it says it all - More tomorrow and perhaps at the weekend when our friend has offered to do some inflight video from his helicopter.

    Thanks to you all for helping getting me this far!

    cheers

    Congratulations Ross, you had a great first flight with beautiful weather. Enjoy your plane, it looks great in the air!

    I am trying to be patient waiting for a friend to CNC a part so I can replace my left mag with an EFII electronic ignition. Other than that I am ready. Winter is coming too, we had a little snow on the ground yesterday.
