Not by me. I remembered his trip today and told a few about it when talking about this guy. 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.

His blog is here http://motorglidertonepal.blogspot.com.au/ He has been travelling for a month. What a great achievement. Mad maybe but he made it. He is now heading south and I hope to meet him soon. He needs to do a 50 hourly surprisingly. Cheers. Nige. -- Dr. Jorg M.
