Following on from an earlier blog on this Aerotek Pitts S-1S ZK-FRJ , c/n 1-0025.Above pic at West Melton back on 09-12-1988. Note "Inexcusable Extravagance" on the cowling.
It was damaged at Cust in North Canterbury when it drifted into a fence during a cross wind landing on 25-05-2003. Above pic at Rangiora 25-03-04 - note fuselage frame and rudder damage.
Maurice Tull picked up the project officially on 08-01-2004 and sorted out the fuselage wrinkles and repaired the wings. Above pic at Rangiora 08-11-08 well on the way to recovery..JPG)
Covering, painting and final assembly is in the capable hands of Paul Woodley. Above pic taken today at Rangiora. Neat paint job !
