Lots of work done...

We have been busy the last few weeks having the Board of Directors Meeting, putting together the sponsorship proposal template and now we are finally going to potential sponsors.  Its been a long road to get this far, but we are getting there at last.

Also we now have our Donation facility on the web site up and running, so spread the word about what we are doing to anyone who might be interested!

The drama of my aircraft is still going but the end is nigh!  Geoff, the mechanic who services my plane, has pulled the engine down and has found what the problems is.  There are two stuck exhaust valves and a shattered piston ring, which looks like it was caused by overheating.  The design of the aircraft just doesn't provide enough cooling to the engine.  Its very dissapointing that a new aircraft has these problems, but I'm not the only one!

Geoff is looking at doing some minor adjustments to get better cooling.  With a bit of luck I will get the aircraft back in the air this weekend and see how she goes.  Fingers crossed.
