Re: Tony Nijhuis Vampire Build

Hi Dave
Looking very good,look forward to seeing it in the future. Will you be at Elvington as I had a word with Paul Hardman and He said you might be ?.It was with regard to a Provost build after I had said to him I was thinking of doing one.

Re: Tony Nijhuis Vampire Build

Yes I saw the jet mag report and it brought back bad memories but onward.Good luck with all the test flying when you carry it out.Mine was just nose heavy when we tested balance with no fuel.

Best regards
