At long last today I received this non-descript document through the mail.....  Now the only things stopping CKE flying is a bit of paperwork for approval of my Test Pilot (once he is happy enough to sign it...) and appropriate alignment of rosters, weather etc.... Nearly there! |

Thanks for the comments and encouragement guys. I would like to get it to Ashburton in February, but it will depend on how the test programme goes and how soon I can start flying it. Fingers crossed! For those unfamilar with it, here are a few pics without the covers, pickets and spoilers:    |
