The hand controls arrived from Australia today. What
excitement.
I need to keep my license current until such time as the
Seawind is complete and there has been over whelming support
from people I don't even really know.
In January I approached Steve Marais who owns a
Cherokee 235, and asked him if he would be prepared to allow
me to fit hand controls to his aircraft so that I can stay
current until such time as the Seawind would be complete. It
was his generosity that started this amazing experience.
Then with the kind help of Athol Franz and
AFRICAN PILOT a request was sent out asking for
financial assistance to help me import approved hand controls
from Australia. The follow people responded within hours and I
would like to acknowledge their contribution.
I really wish to thank them all.
