Just about 7 weeks shy of three years, it moves on its own power:

Thats a great milestone, a huge well done.

The family sound as excited as you must have been

Love the "Biggles" flying hat & goggles & you might need a bigger fuel tank

Nice one Albert

cheers

Thanks, mates.

I got the aviator hat and goggles from friends for my birthday. As an encouragement to get on with the build

Smile Great news

Hi Albert

Watching that youtube clip has just put a big smile on my face.

I can only imagine just how pleased you must feel.

Have followed your build with interest & will continue to do so, well done indeed.

Going to be something special once completed, that's for sure.

I'm close to submitting the car for the equivalent of the IVA test in Warsaw, Poland. Arrangements are being made with one of the local Locost/kit car builders there.

I've put together a gallery of most build progress photos I have, about 500 of them:

Also I've been keeping records of time I've spent on the build, here is a breakdown of how long each part took:

Nice one Albert (I 've been looking for a flying helmet and goggles like that )

I hope the test goes well.
