Hi All,
Today we completed the restoration of the ASK 6 E, VH-GEA, with its
post restoration flight at Bacchus Marsh. It has been 16 years since
its unfortunate landing at Muralen.
Many Many thanks to all the people who have helped return this
beautiful glider to service. Geoff Hearn for helping me find it. Mal
Bennett for taking on the job of fixing the wing. The Australian
Gliding Museum for the covering. Pete Raphael for the painting. Alan
Patching for the weighing and to Dennis Hipperson who now owns it, for
all the new trailer fittings and a thousand other jobs.
Without you all this just wouldn't have happened so soon.
Thankyou all.
What a nice xmas present. And yes.....it flies beautifully.
As good as a Blanik perhaps ??? =-O
Cheers
Patch
Regards,
Terry
(Sorry, after the re-emergence of the the underground ABC (Anti Blanik
Confederation) in recent days this just begged to be suggested :-P .
Nice to hear about another Ka6 in the air tho.... well done!)
