Cruzer circuit practice with full flap landings, plus coastal scenery flight; Fleureiu Peninsula, South Australia, at 8x speed, no music - 8 min/fast video. Last landing with half flaps and side slipped. Camera beneath the plane. For fellow Builders - keep going - a very forgiving plane, not fast.

Hi All, 9 min YouTube - new kitbuilt 750 Cruzer with a Viking engine.
Scenic lap of Hindmarsh Island, South Australia - best on a big screen.
At 6 minutes you can jump fwd to the end, for the landing, if you wish.
All clips sped up 200%, audio down to 20%, no music.

Hi John, thanks for the P.O.H. offer but a pilot in Aust has a copy of the exact one he can email me. I'm really impressed with the dash and finish of your aircraft - well done. Thanks and regards, Pete Doré.
John -
Thank you so much for the of letting me have those fuel pumps for my Viking 110. I will be glad to pay the shipping and anything else that is required. If you can give me an idea of what shipping should should be, I'll be glad to send it over to you by PayPay. Please add something to compensate you for your time and packaging. You can reach me directly at Brad@ocbis.com. I can't believe you have been to Irvine, maybe next time you visit your sister we can get together and swap stories and I'll but you lunch.
Thanks again - Brad

Thanks John, What are your thoughts on the service bulletin regarding the HS, I see you have a Viking engine which should run smoother with less vibration, do you feel necessary to perform what is indicated in the service bulletin?
Thanks for the heads up John,
Certainly a set back on my project but in the end is for security reasons.
Regards
Roberto.
Thanks John.
I wanted the second set of cylinders etc to put brakes on the starboard side. I should have ordered them with the kit, but I didn't know then what I know now.
I will get the intensifiers while I'm there, as I think that I will need them.
Good luck with your build.
Regards,
John Butler
Hi John sorry I just haven't gotten back to you but I did by two batteries on that promotion from Wicks and thank you for the heads up. I needed two because I'm using a covair motor and that battery has the ability to shut itself off and then I become a glider, but buy just flicking a swt. I convert to the standby Thanks again Ron
