Well hello again .
I thought that it was time to fill you all in on a little bit of my background where aviation is concerned. I started my flight training in May 2005. When I was halfway through my training I started searching the net for an aircraft that would stand up to paddock and bush strips. My reasons for this are because we are on a 5000 acre farm running sheep and growing coarse grains.
I surprised a lot of people firstly because with only 20 hours of experience not only had I just bought a kit aircraft but it is a tail dragger as well. When I flew to Sydney with my wife to have a look and to fly in one all I could do was sit in the Hornet because the weather turned and it was not fit to fly.
Well as you can see we have finished the Hornet. I must thank Ole Hartman for his support and backup service.
Ole Flew over to Western Australia to put Hornet S006 through her paces. Which is exactly what he did. Last Sunday after a very early start Ole and my little bird jumped into the air for the second time in two days and with a continuous supply of fuel she was flown for 7 hours. She has now done 15 hours and we have not put a spanner near her.
Once again I must thank Australian Aircraft Kits and Ole for the outstanding backup service.For those of you wondering the Hornet is everything that Ole told me it would be and the main thing is that she is very gentle to a novice like me.

I also thought some of you might like to see how uncluttered and simple the cowl is. There is no cooling problems at all at 36 degrees C doing circuits oil and water temps stayed well in the green all the time

any way until next time

Cheers
