Television just doesn't do it for me any more and so a lot of my spare time goes into the creation of what you are about to see.... The construction of Falco #1230 in Auckland, New Zealand. OK, I haven't finished yet, but if you saw an aeroplane that looked like this wouldn't you want one ??</small></font></td> <td width="67" height="140"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="13"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="13"></td> <td width="67" height="13"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="21"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="21"><p align="center"><big><big><strong><font color="#0000FF"><em>IT FLIES !!!</em></font></strong></big></big></p> <p align="center"><big><big><strong><font color="#0000FF"><em>First Flight  2nd January 2004 </em></font></strong></big></big></td> <td width="67" height="21"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="21"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="21"><font color="#0000FF"><em><big><big><strong><p align="center"></strong></big></big><img src="Flying/airair2.JPG" alt="Yehaar" border="1" width="450" height="193"></em></font></td> <td width="67" height="21"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="46"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="46"><font color="#0000FF"><em><strong><p align="center"></strong>Test flying.... 5th March 2004 </em></font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#0000FF"><em>(needs Paint!!)</em></font></td> <td width="67" height="46"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="21"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="21"><font color="#0000FF"><em><p align="center"><strong><img src="Flying/airair1.JPG" alt="Airbourne !!!!" border="1" width="450" height="221"></strong></em></font></td> <td width="67" height="21"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="39"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="39"><em><font color="#0000FF"><p align="center">All done at a leisurly 160Kts</font></em></td> <td width="67" height="39"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="39"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="39"><em><font color="#0000FF"><p align="center"><img src="Flying/airair3.JPG" width="450" height="260" alt="Gone !!" border="1"></font></em></td> <td width="67" height="39"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="39"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="39"><em><font color="#0000FF"><p align="center">Gone !!</font></em></td> <td width="67" height="39"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="179"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="179"><p align="center"><font color="#000000"><img src="Misc/CofA.JPG" border="2" alt="The paperwork!!" width="200" height="268"></font></td> <td width="67" height="179"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="21"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="21"><p align="center"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><em>9 1/2 years after starting.. the Certificate of airworthiness.</em></font></td> <td width="67" height="21"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="155"></td> <td width="488" colspan="2" height="155"><font face="Arial"><small>Left is a list of chapters in the construction of my aeroplane.
