ZK-AKL is very close to completion now - we are doing final assembly of the fuselage and cockpit at the moment. Power will go on ship by next weekend. I had hoped to beat the B787 into the air, but I fear we will miss by a couple of months. Latest piccies tell the story here :

I have also got my little Avid Speedwing flying to serve as the base trainer for the T51. She can be a total bitch to fly so the name of "Wattle Witch" seemed appropriate. Actually she is a pussycat if you know how to fly properly and know what your feet are for, but sadly I find that some who try - can't and don't ...

Certainly getting our T51 syndicate members up to speed on the "Witch' is a good refresher of tailwheel microlight techniques and once they can fly her properly the Titan will be a simple conversion.
