Hi Larry
I see you have done what you said you were going to do when I met you in Knysna when you showed your Jora to me. (Building the Waivex) how are your plans going for your Zanzibar trip?

HI Andre

Czech, and a wedding have put Zanzibar on hold for another year, but will defintely be going.

Waiex coming on slowly, have had a bad dose of flu. Turtle deck in the process of being fitted, more pics early next week.

Come and have a look sometime, not that far for you. Might see you in a few weeks when we fly to TFDC.

Cheers

Larry

Hi Larry

Weather permitting I will also be flying to TFDC in November with a friend in a Jora. Your Waivex project seems to be moving at a rapid pace! Well done! What will you be flying in to TFDC as you have sold your Jora?

Best wishes
Andre

Update

Postby LarryMcG » Thu Nov 01, 2007 8:17 am

Ok, have been very busy, building a zillion brackets for the cockpit area. That is now coming together, and have done the first fit. Got bushes made for the mixer - for the Y controls, and got the bolts, so we will now finish the rear part of fus, and fit the floor, controls, turtle deck, and side panels, as well as firewall etc, so fus coming along well.

Last pics show that I have started on the wings, building brackets etc, got one spar clickoed together, to see how it all fits!
