That's what we say every time. The same applies to Essendon. There since before many of them were born. They knew what they were buying, but it didn't stop them.

Yaay!  Looks like I stumped you.

Local residents of course.

Now working from my laptop, but I hadn't backed up to my portable hard drive for a week or so. 

OK. here it is from Wiki: The Aerospool WT9 Dynamic is a Slovak ultralight and light-sport aircraft, designed and produced by Aerospool of Prievidza.  Read more here.
