A cheap Twister for sale in Italy at just 35,000 Euros.
Built by Termikas and with just 25 hours on the engine and airframe.

After having flown very little hours over the winter due to bad weather and the lockdown it was nice to complete a longish flight yesterday.
Down to the south coast to see the parked up Cruise ships. Then past the very busy beaches of Bournemouth and around the Isle of Wight.
Heading back up home I managed to get a zone transit through London City.
Finally landing at my mates strip at Gravely after 2.8 hours for a well earned cup of coffee and a chat. Then followed a short air to air formation with him in his new RV8 to take some photos of it for him.
All in all a great day out.

I've read this article before but it was a poor quality photocopy.
I managed to get hold of a brand new copy of the magazine from 2004 and scanned the article in high res in colour.
I had to chuckle at James Hallam's claim of 500 hours build time. That was before he had built his of course. I wonder how long it actually took him?
A good read none the less with history from Mike Friend and a Sales pitch from James Hallam.
