Last year I predicted:

2003 Outlook
-----------------

More aeros comps
More fun flying
A x-channel Balbo with Pitts-mates


Achieved all of the above! 84.2hrs to date with hopefully another 2 or 3 before year end!

In addition, I helped out a couple of friends with some maintenance issues and spare parts. Am custodian of a lovely single seater till the owner returns from working overseas next summer.

Have enjoyed watching Arclite01 become quite proficient in the HAL26.

Well next year is already pretty mapped out: more of the above and an upgrade of my provisional DA to a real DA

PLUS

sometime between Chrimbo and New Year I take delivery of a 40' ICAO container and spend 2004, 2005 and a bit of 2006 cutting, shaping and welding all the bits in the box together to make an aeroplane again!! And again - as I bought enough 4130, T6/T3 ally and spruce to make two!

Still need at least one Lyc O360A4A, A4M or B4A.


Safe and fun flying to all.
