John Petre -

TR-4 Builder in South Africa



Note!  The following are older photos of the first flights of John's plane with a Subaru engine.  Engine failure caused by engine control systems resulted in the following unscheduled landing.  The plane suffered some repairable damage but as can be seen above, is flying again with a new aircraft engine.

A Sorry Sight (John's Words) - The sad result of an engine failure...It will fly again though.
