ZDL make-over

 We visited The Airplane Factory to check progress on the anti-corrosion treatment to our plane.. in fact we were supposed to take re-delivery today... but as you can see from the pics, the plane was not yet ready... in fact we're wingless. Anyhow, the job is looking good and the Airplane guys are working flat out on the number of planes they are churning out to keep everyone happy. We also took the oppotunity of writing our names on the metalwork under the seats. Other modifications include improvements to the seats to bring them more into line with the new spec seats,  a new firewall to prevent hot-air leakage into the cabin, sealing of the canopy and a new paint-job.

We also had a look at several other Slings in the making, including ZU-SAA of our friends Lee and Marc who are hoping to take delivery of Sling # 93 at the end of October.

Co-incidentally our visit now on the 15th September 2012 is the date to the day on which we took first delivery of ZDL one year ago!
