What we've been up to recently at SkyFreedom Aviation

For the past two days I've been in Wanaka, catching up with Kylie from U-Fly who is leasing our Skyleader GP One demo aircraft. Kylie and husband Ivan have recently had a cute baby girl, Ella-May, so they are now very proud parents. 

The GP One's exhaust did not survive having a thick heater intake welded to it. The Skyleader management team were not happy with this failure - they hatched a plan to send me home with a replacement exhaust, so that we could get the GP One back into the air. They made a surprise presentation of the exhaust just before I departed. I bought it home to NZ in my suitcase! A big thank-you to Skyleader. 
I fitted the exhaust on Friday afternoon. Ivan took the GP One for a quick test fly on Saturday morning. He loves flying the wee beauty and couldn't resist doing some 'manoeuvres'. 
By mid-morning, the first pilot had rocked up to hire the GP One. He booked it again for the afternoon to take his wife for a spin.

PS: The design/engineering team at Skyleader has already developed a completely new exhaust for the production GP One model, as well as many neat improvements to an already nice aircraft. Soon this revised exhaust will be fitted to our demo GP One, together with as many of the upgrades as can be retro-fitted.
