Since last reporting, my Turbine have had the floats installed, since September 2012 the test flying program have been put on hold to the next summer (Run out of soft water) !
Transport Canada did re-register her to C-GOID, from C-FRGU.
Also, an increase in gross weight to 5500 lbs was approved.

To give you an idea of her size I included my wife in the picture, the plane's physical dimensions is the same as the "Sherpa Turbine". I believe my Turbine is the largest "Homebuilt" ever built in Canada if not North America.
