00:02I had in the back of my mind that I'd like to do some more interesting flying.
00:10The chipmunk is colloquially known as the poor man Spitfire.
00:15Offers everything that other warbirds do.
00:17But it's a small aeroplane, it's a lighter aeroplane.
00:20Happened to see an ad for an Australian one that was in bits.
00:24Next thing you know I've got a project.
00:26Took it apart, assessed it all and then came back with this great long list of we will need all
00:32these bits.
00:33Stan's 84 years old, that comes with its challenges.
00:36What do I do? Make holes in my bloody self most of the time.
00:41We needed a certificate of airworthiness.
00:44We got that just after one o'clock yesterday and then we were ready for the first test flight.
00:50At about 1800 feet we got a sudden drop in power.
00:55The upward spiral became a downward spiral.
01:00It wasn't me.
01:02Switch is off.
01:11This is the opportunity to do it once, do it well.
01:13And at the end of it there's going to be one more chipmunk flying in the world.
01:17I can take a while to follow what is coming and before when push Kalauă§Ä bit?
01:23I'm here to save it.
