Very nice of you Dave Mate, lots of trip reports/pics/video to come. Incidentaly, it is kept in the hangar where our beloved Bantam is born. At Max Clear's facility. I'm sharing my space there with all the Bantams Watching Bantams being born is a wonderful thing

Good stuff Daz! Love your bird.

 

The mower looks good too, but that chair....I wouldn't sit on that thing, your bird would be far safer!

It is indeed Michael. It has a drive-shaft with 3 bearings. Runs wonderfully.

 

Got some fast taxiis/circuits in today. Was hardly any wind down at Te Kowhai. Flies beautifully. Most happy. Here is a pic I snapped
