On 19 March 2019, ZK-XVI finally flew in the capable hands of Ryan Southam. He was up for about 10-15 minutes, returned to put in a report -and promptly took to the air again for a further 10-15 minutes. Whoopee! Nine long years of work paid off in the end.
Just a couple of minor niggles: the right brake wasn't functioning properly and the ASI needs some investigation as it appeared to be over-reading, e.g. it showed the stall at about 50 kts whereas it should have been around 35-38 kts.
HOWEVER (there is always one of those, isn't there?) the 3rd party insurance costs for me to fly it are prohibitively expensive. How I go about that will be the next challenge!
