About Me

We are now in Oz after two amazing years of traveling Europe in our home built plane. We met many fantastic people who we are proud to call friends and have gained a much better understanding of the similarities and differences between the cultures of the different European states as well as the history and geography that have lead to these differences. We enjoy meeting people with similar interests to ourselves and learning more about other cultures. Please let us know if you're going to be in Queensland and would like to catch up for a meal and a chat.

1 sleep to go!

Tomorrow it's back to London, so was important to get the tail fin and horizontal stabiliser (tail too)  ready so that they can be fibreglassed into place on Monday.  This meant heaps of complex negotiations of placing to make sure the tail is perpendicular to the body, then a whole heap of drilling holes for self tapping screws so that we actually put the tail in the designated angle and position.  And of course the endless fun of pulling mousing lines through the tail with the radio cable (amongst others) attached, with of course the obilgatory putting the wrong size tube through, routing the cables the wrong way, tugging too hard on the cable and pulling it back into the body of the plane so that we have to completely remove it from the plane's body and pull it back through.  The joy.  Amazing how time flies though!
