Thanks Des
Not sure if I should be happy or sad. All I know is I will miss flying that little machine. At least it was bought by a Victorian, and should see it flying around the traps.
As for my new 2 seater, should be only 2-3 months away from its first hops.
Keep you all posted.

Regards SamL.......
