My Turbulent made its first flight in Australia on Sunday 19th October. I flew for 15 minutes and everything functioned well, since then both Tom Kreig and Stewart Maddigan have flown it with excellent reports so I am delighted.

Other notes of interest

Allan first built and flew this aircraft in 1966 in the United Kingdom. He later sold the aircraft when he moved to Australia. In 2005 - Allan went back to the UK to re-buy his Turbulent, and ship it to Australia. The first flight referred to here is the first flight in Australia.
