Panicmouse Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Building a Super Petrel 100 kitset, almost finished after 10 years. Has been a very interrupted project, with several added time consuming complexities due to being only the second one made at the factory in Ipuena, Brazil . Previous flying in hang gliders and microlights, then got a PPL flying Cessnas, recently downgraded to a recreational pilots license because of the increasing costs of medical compliance. In NZ, this still allows one to fly GA aircraft, but with no more than one passenger. Looking forward to some water flying at last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Welcome to this great site, so looking forward to seeing a few pic's especially when it's finished. I spent about 20yrs rebuilding a Sunbeam Alpine Series 2 which is now somewhere in your neck of the woods. Work and other commitments sometimes get in the way of these projects, so don't feel bad about how long it takes, as it sounds as though you are now on the home straight. Good stuff! keep us posted.
