Sorry, Dan. Sent it to you only by mistake. - Réacheminé par Serge VIDAL/DNSA/SAGEM le 2005-11-08 14:39 - Serge VIDAL 2005-11-08 14:32 Pour : "Dan Heath" cc : Objet : Back to KR basics I am very pleased to inform you that I received my European Private Pilot's License (by mail) today! Boy, that was not easy. There was no way I could convert my South African PPL in France, so I had to take the written test and the flight test. Preparing for the flight test took me a good 7 flight hours, and the flight test was two and a half hours of hard work. The hardest part was to learn to fly in French, and in the congested French airspace. So, I am done, and I can now concentrate on finishing to rebuild the KR2. With an extra incentive: I am a member of a homebuilders association that owns a homebuilt Jodel D-18, which I can now rent for dirt cheap. So, each time I make the long trip to see my aircraft (one hour forty minutes drive, traffic jams not included), I can reward myself with a D-18 flight. I only have a couple more small parts to make before I can start reassembling. Two are mere L-shaped brackets that hold the wing root mounted aluminum fuel tanks in place. Two are L'shaped aluminum brackets with a threaded insert, which will hold on the wing WAFs, and provide a threaded hole to fit removeable tie-down brackets. Then, I also need to order a couple more nuts, bolts and cable accessories, which I will once again import from the US, I guess it's time to start filing the paperwork. Because there is a good chance I can start testing next year. Serge Vidal KR2 "Kilimanjaro Cloud" Paris, France

Especially if, as I do, fly an ultralight and the airfield must be out of it. C. -- Land the airplane, rubber side down, main wheels first.

Oh, there re many airfields closer than that. But there is simply no hangarage available. Serge "Cris."
