Hi everyone,
The aircraft hasnt flown as of yet due to delays with the permit to fly from NZ CAA, but we are only a few days away I would imagine.
I will post some first flight shots as soon as it does.
This Proctor has the slanted front windscreen as well as different rear windows which essentially makes it a Vega Gull, as mentioned above there isnt a lot between the earlier models other than seating configuration.
The only reason I have been asking for Proctor 1 handling notes is not for the test flying its purely to keep CAA happy about their being no differences essentially between the earlier models so we can get a official flight manual done (it can be difficult convincing them.
I will be test flying the machine very soon and I will give you a run down on what its like (comparing with the Proctor 5), Ill post some pictures, and perhaps a short video clip.
Heres a teaser anyway…….
Just for information the aircraft is mechanically finished but cosmetically not, the registration is temporary and still needs to be added full span on the wings, there is a little sign writing to do on the cowls (maybe Castrol insignia) and there may be a Kings Cup emblem on the tail, more polishing, more polishing, more polishing, more polishing etc etc
