Thanks for the email Nige. I guess NZ is just a big too far away. It would be fantastic to see him. A real. achievement in a little wooden machine with a Limbach. Really sad about Aussie Customs though. (But typical) Of interest the 2.4 Limbach engine I put into the Grob 109 came from a Stemme S10 that flew from The UK to NZ. (owen Truelove). Sadly his epic effort seems to forgotten.
