Thanks Big Mac & Johan

I will get the prop to Peter as soon as possible but the Cash she is very Low, My Daughter and Wife going to the States has Destroyed my Financial status.
I will do the ground runs etc with the Original prop that does not have Stainless Leading Edges. ## ## ##

Hi Sox

She actually gets a Skirt that closes up the whole rear end from the end of the Pod. But it is only coming in with the Next Shipment of stuff from Mainair in the UK So she can Fly without it but she just looks really naked till then.

But watch this space s059

Eish, look forward to seeing this baby fly

Gemini is an awesome plane, I could pull mine to 85mph easily, hands off 60mph, floats forever and handles the bumps like a dream

Well done Gav - You are gonna enjoy this airy
