Hello All,
Fully agreed - well done Richard and no doubt the Hobbs meter will be working overtime in the coming months.
Another fact about Richard is that he has attended every TCFG Fly-In since 2001 and Jacqui has accompanied him numerous times.
It's a pity that others, living in the back yard of the various Fly-Ins are never seen.
Best Regards,
Barry

Hi All,
JB thanks for the kind words. This has been a long and trying experience with many highs and lows. Possibly the worst part of it were those times when the doubters got to me and made me review my sanity. But hey you keep going and one day it is finished. The old girl flies like a dream. No issues other than a throttle closing on me on take off as I grabbed the gear. Thought what the hell , apply rudder, gear up and deal with the problem alter. Was happy to notice that the throttle was closed and had not killed an engine. Did not have enough tension on the throttles.
Turned more than a little AvGas into noise. Apparently the smile has just started to fade, while at the same time it is a bit of an anticlimax. All we need is to do the paint and interior.
On a more serious note I could not have done this without the help of a number of people both here and in the US.
JimBob for all his technical help, the many hours we have spent together in 222Jim&Sue learning these 680s. For letting me and Jax into his and Sues family. We love you guys.
Morris for being the fountain of knowledge that he is. Never failing to answer questions when the answer eluded me. For finding parts etc.
Moe and Budddy, What more can I say. Being mates.
All the rest of our friends at TCFG.We love you all and look forward each year to catching up with you. As many of you have welcomed us into your homes and lives we extend the same to you when you visit our shores. Expecting Stan and Cathy soon.
Thank you all.
Cheers
Rich & Jax

What an amazing accomplishment! Kudos to all, including the helpers! I had the same throttle closing experience before overhauling both engines! I hope you took some in-process pictures to share.Craig
