It was good to have the fly in the 750 - glad there were no surprises! How is your build going and if it suits I would like to catch up with you sometime and look at the kit etc.
Rotec went well and I am continuing down that path.
After all the mess with the current executive in RA-Aus I will be building under GA rules (a lot more work most inspections which I was going to have anyway) and probably go the O-200 engine as the Rotax is not certified but that is a while away yet. I need to get onto Allan again and get things organised as the last 18 months have been interesting.
I am not sure when the fly in is on at Bussellton but hopefully we can catch up for a chin wag at some stage.
Thanks for the reply. I am still without a kit as we are building a house soon. But, once that is up I will get a loan and get everything in one hit. The O-235 is a good engine with heaps of power and you will have more horses at cruise than the O-200 or Rotax, so you will never over strain it, she is just a bit thirstier. I have decided to stay on the GA route, at least until RA-Aus travels there path. Joining the SAAA is a great idea the local chapter here is at YSEN so it is very close.

Hi Chris,
How is the project going?
Did you decide to go GA or RA-Aus?
What engine are you intending/are running in her?

I hope that you are going ok.
All the best
