The good news is that the Gyrorotate thingy is ok then?
Mind you it looks like the engineering staff in Dehli have lightened the engine somewhat and shaved a bit of the fuselage, at least it will be able to get over them hills a bit easier... I hear they make some pretty good engines at the Enfield motorbike factory in India
here is a picture of how they rebuilt the aircraft from a bike using the rubber inner tubes as nice de ice boots on the leading edges and also the chrome petrol tank will be made into a badge for one of those awfully nice Russian airline captains, is it true their hats are very large so that they can carry their Vodka inside them?



The good news for Barry is that the support crew are actively waiting his arrival, they are likened to coiled springs waiting to bounce into action.
