...Hopefully it goes to a good home and gets completed in the near future!I have been building this one since 2008 as a very slow build (having two kids join the family slowed it down even further) after Philip from Bundu aviation sold me the kit which he imported for me then. Bob Verwey (Winona on avcom) is the AP supervising the build.

Year Model: 2008 kit
Engine Type and prop: No engine or prop as a firewall backwards kit
Avionics and other equipment: Instruments not purchased yet
Viewing Location: Roodepoort

Here's a link to the manufacturers website illustrating the current unshipped pricing of the kit in the states which with finishing kit is about USD 18,500 which seems to be about R220k excluding say R50k plus of shipping costs. I also paid around R20k landed for the upgraded 650 bubble canopy and the spar strengthening/anti-flutter upgrade kit which is mandatory. So I am looking for around R250k to attempt to recoup my initial outlay.

The fuselage is pretty complete with a few elements (mostly canopy and interior work) that still require work and I am about half way through one wing at the minute.
Any interest?
