Monday Aug. 13th the 40 hour test flight period was completed. The airplane perform beyond Tom and mines expectations. we took the plane out to a small grass strip and gave some rides to family and those who had a part in the building process.
Tom left to fly the plane to Iowa to see his family, and when he returns to Oshkosh we will start making plans for the trip across the Atlantic. We have to have a extra fuel tank fabricated and installed in the right seat so the plane will have enough fuel to make it the 1400 mile trip from St. Johns, NF to the Azores.
Please pray that Tom will be able to get the permission from the military in Cameroon to fly the Glastar that is in Cameroon, and be able to import the Sportsman. Tom is concerned that he may have to go back to Cameroon and talk to the military first before they give him there blessing. that will leave the Sportsman here in the USA, and I have volunteered to fly the 40 hour trip across the Atlantic to Cameroon. Pray for this trip, that we will have good weather and that I will be able to get the time off work if needed.
