Saturday morning and there was a message on my answerphone from Bob. "Weather looks good and I have a window at 1.30pm, would you like to do the test flight?". I quickly colected all the equipment and paperwork I needed and headed straight for Thruxton. I had rechecked everthing and Bob arrived and started looking over the aeroplane. He checked the PFA permit to fly, and checked the flight speeds and other details in the RV manual. I ran through the fight systems with him and and he strapped himself in.
Jo's family happened to be visiting on the Sunday - I figured I would just be telling them about the maden flight when Bob called up and suggested we do some more flying as the weather was unexpectidly good. So 30mins after I arrived at Thruxton the family decended - Jo for the first sight of what had made me spend so long in the garage - Tony, Mere, Angie & Aleix. I went up with Bob on the second flight to take notes and run through some of the system testing. Jo said the view on the ground was fantastic, with everybody crying!!! Tony was running around telling everybody that I had built it in my garage.
