I was there to witness the first flight last week :ok:

The aircraft was built in the Northwest and the test flight took place at Barton - the standard of finish the builder has achieved is nothing short of perfection!!

The engine is very interesting - a six cylinder 200 hp UL-520 fitted with a 3-blade electrically variable prop. At idle power there is almost no noise and zero vibration - but at full power she sounds like a Harvard :D

Watch out for her at various shows this year - full flap stall speed is less than 30 kts...........

Err, not the first - G-SSTL has been around for ages now and Bob P has sold a few I gather.
