The best way will be to write Elmar Meier an email and tell him directly that problem. >> [email]elmar@meiermotors.com[/email]
Elmar is the technical head of the facility.
Just wondered what the latest news is, Has the Spit flown, Or the TF-51?
And plans for BBD?
Thanks
no, no and no 😀
The Spit T9 is ready to fly, they just need some flyable weather. The same at the TF-project. Achim will manage the maidens of both aircraft.
The BBD … well the brothers bought the wreck, we will see what they are doing with that broken wing
