2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

He estimates that the original model cost him more than $10,000 (£7,700) to build and, to date, he has spent $3,000 on the seaplane - no small sum in a country where the minimum wage is $153 a month and 13.5% of the population lives below the poverty line.


His missus must be waiting with bated breath..…for the silly bugger to kill himself so she can inherit what’s left of his money and have a proper holiday! :lol:
