I'm actually wondering how it arrived in New Zealand to begin with!

I forget the exact date, but I remember when the guy first brought it into the country. Two were bought and one of them was parked on a flatbed truck in Pokeno for a number of years. For $20 you could sit in it and flick all the dials and switches you wanted!!

Yeah, I remember when it first arrived. I think the aircraft was perfectly serviceable and they were trying to get a permit to fly the thing. Government or whoever, wouldn't have a bar of it due to the fact it could fly faster than the airforce Cessnas... I mean Skyhawks laugh.gif
