Just received my Special CofA!
The inspection was done Wednesday last week but it takes a couple of days for the paperwork to be completed.

The AP was very thorough but in the end he was pleased with everything he saw, he said I was only the third ever where he absolutely no remarks. That's a big boost to my confidence!

I now only have to wait for a nice quiet morning with a light breeze from the South so I can take off on my preferred runway 16 here at YWOL.

Very cool rizzz! Let me know if you end up flying it up near C77 during the test phase.

Haha, C77 might be slightly out of my reach :D

Unfortunately the weather is really not looking too flash the coming week here in Wollongong:

First flight might not happen for a while, but hey, after 6 years who cares about another week or two.

Well done
Seeing as how you cant go flying, you could spend some time looking at what to build next.

Haha, I've been doing that for a while now but I'll need to fly this one for a couple of years before I'm "allowed" to build something else, I might have a divorce on my hand otherwise.

BTW, I've got Mittagong included in my initial flight test area, I might drop by and see how you're going with yours :)
