Guest Maj Millard Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Enjoyed the video frank. !!.......quickest aircraft building project I've ever seen!...As you know I enjoyed looking at this aircraft at your place a couple of weeks ago, and also enjoyed seeing Peter again after a few years when he came out Sunday morning. I didn't realize that peter had built the aircraft though....................................................Maj...
skellywelly Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 This is interesting, I wonder if Peter is still flying the KFM engine, A/C looks great. Skelly.
