    Congrats Bill. Great day when you can fly an aircraft you built.
    The 4 is a great handling aircraft. The zipper kit in a 912 uls should make it really sporty. Have fun. Well done.

    Nice one Mr Bill! Well done! I like your approach on the day to preparing - getting familiar in another aircraft and then the first flight! And a MK4 with a zipper kit would have made it 'sporty'! I have flown my friend Craig's MK4 with the ordinary Mk 4 and that is pretty sporty without the zipper kit! Would be interesting to hear about your numbers as you do the fly off.

    Hope you continue to enjoy it!

    cheers
