Congratulations on a Great milestone. It sure is a awesome feeling on the first flight after so much time building, looks like some nice country to fly in too.

Er Melbourne AUSTRALIA,,,,the airfield is called Coldstream and yeh the valley is very nice, lots of vineyards and bush, the aircraft started out as an Aussie copy of a Kitfox, probably close to a model 3-4 . I used the fuselage and wings from the Aussie variant and fabricated pretty much everything else, it runs a 100hp 912 , I'm getting 900fpm at 60kias on climb and 80knots cruise at 4800rpm,
Cheers Mat
