Im not sure if most blondes will notice it is only 90% size!

I would like to wish Paul the very best with this project but have some reservations as to whether 12 will ever get built.

There is a video on the website going back to last April 2011 in which Paul says he expects the first completed in 3 months. Having built several kit aircraft they always take three times as long.

The first from what I have seen is quite a long way from being finished. 1/20th shares were going for £11000 each which makes the kit around £220000.00 for each aircraft. To build 12 will require alot of money!

Would be nice just to see one flying tho!

Best of luck with it all guys- and who cares if it is only 90%. The shape of it makes it a very gorgeous and sexy aeroplane.
