Hi,My name is Norm and I just joined the forum a few minutes ago which has a lot of good information. I went straight to a Sapphire search and found the Sapphire I recently aquired (0051) being discussed in 2007. After three months of fixing up and licencing it, I did my first flight last Sat.at Narrogin WA airfield. It still has an open canopy and was holding onto my glasses and working the throttle at the same time. It is nice to fly compared to the Thruster I spent five hours in to get my ultralight licence. Will be making some wheel fairings and putting on an enclosed canopy. Has anybody done this? Honest Steve, at Sapphire, recommends I hide all sharp objects when installing the canopy as it is a frustrating job.Again hi to all and hope to hear from some Sapphire fans.Norm
