?	?	RV6	Kitty Hawk	ZU-BDX
Noel	Drew	RV6	Cato Ridge	ZU-APF		RV6 ZU-APF flew in May 1995 making it the first RV to fly locally. It was made from a 1991 kit with all holes needing to be drilled. It has now flown about 600 hours and has its second windscreen, second undercarriage and improved ignition for the 0-320. So far it has cost its passengers plenty as many now fly their own RVs. It is a great source of joy. (Update: Sadly Written Off)
