Whatever Happened to….?

Skysport Demon

The pace of this job has always been dictated by the rate the cash flows in from the customer.

For those who have seen the aircraft and the photos of the pile of bits it once was – wow!

I cant wait to see it in the air. I wonder if a proper test pilot will do the intial flight test. I’ll put money on it that it isn’t, despite the skill on the Kestrel and the Hind plus a willingness to help that exists at Old Warden a mile up the road.

I undertand that the next milestone will be the Vintec engine overhaul. I dont know if the wheels have been sorted – a major problem to recreate. I think the figure of £50k was mentioned?? Surely not??!!

Anyway, I bet they would be glad of some originals if they havent already found some.

Last time I saw the Demon (18 months ago) the fuselage was mostly done, wings covered and painted. Looked very nice too, but I’d expect nothing less than perfection there anyway. Still had some ancilliary bits to go on, radiator etc, and the engine was receiving attention. She’s always been a very long term project though, so I guess we’ll see her when we see her. She’ll be worth the wait though, I guarantee that.

Is she going to have the “clamshell turret”?
