Great news guys, it will be nice to see a Morgan flying around the Queensland skies, when you fly the hours off, let me know some flyins you plan on going to and I'll make sure I am there to see your pride and joy.
Hi Ron,
2-3 days a weeks isn't too bad considering many people can only get into builds on the weekends. I can imagine how much intricacy would be involved in a build and I don't think I would have the skills to build one! I am more of a geek and good with computers and electronics than fabricating stuff. It would be an awesome feeling however to build you own plane. I think I will end up buying one already built.
Your flap indicator and dash looks great, it couldn't be too far away now?
Jamie, sounds great I like the colours. I am the kinda guy that likes to out with the old and in with the new. I would rather be flying a new plane than one built in the 70s. The performance is simply amazing with these Morgan planes and I do hope that the finish and build quality is there as I will be looking at these after I do my Navs.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for the post. I saw your plane when I was in taree a few months ago. It really caught my eye. They look a great all round plane that is fast enough to tourer in. Heaps of space and the option of extra seats for VH rego. I recently converted to a pilot cert from GFPT. I live out in the bay suburbs in brisbane. I would love to see more photos of this as it comes along. Sounds like you'll have a heap of great times and some good gear going into it. I don't know a lot about the Vikings though I will look them up. I will be commencing Nav traing in the next month or two. I currently flu fornightly and it's great to get back into it.
Hope you have a great trip down..how far off test flying do you think?
