Are you in Tasmania Marty? I am English but living in Poland. I had a 701 which I sold to a friend in Szczecin. It is and old one, built in'95 but was is a great aircraft and gave me much enjoyment.
3 years ago I built a Bristell NG5 which I flew first on my 72nd birthday. This aircraft is also giving me a lot of fun, "Boys Toys"
I worked in Oz for 4 years, near Perth and made some great friends there. One of them has a small farm in Tas and is a Radar technician working for BAE.
Anyway, good luck with your 701.
Regards, Michael
