Cheers Tony ZK-VMS T18C Hi Tony I'm I Brisbane. I picked up this project from a bloke up in Brisbane, he'd bought it from the original builder who'd started it in 1972.he worked on it for 17 years until he had a terrible road accident after 7 months in hospital he was unable to continue so it sat in his workshop for 20 years, in zinc chromate. He actually got told to take it to the tip would you believe cause "no one wants those anymore!" anyhow I bought it in December 2017 about 60% complete and finished it . fly's well couple of squawks to sort out, mainly the prop but Gary Williams from NZ is making me a new one as we speak. cheers Ken |
