Yes, the break has been long. Selling one property and moving into another has been slower than initially thought. Not that living with my girlfriend has been negative - that's not true. It's really been an awesome period. It's just that there's no room for a workshop and I've had to keep the kit and all my tools in storage until I can expand into a new space.
Meanwhile, the remaining three parts to the Vans RV-14 kit arrived 3 weeks ago.
Yep - that's my new 3-bladed Hartzell as well. I can't wait to get it out of the packaging and take a look.
The engine looks to be targeted for completion by about April 2024 and then however long it takes to get it to Australia after that.
