The Ritewing named earlier by members of the www.parkflyers.org.nz comunity , the Haast, is destined to be the key to an abitious project, that will see it passed from Sloper to Sloper and make its way around New Zealand, along the lines of “Wings Across America” http://www.waa-08.org/ currently in progress.
I hope many reading this will join with me in making this happen.
I will be expecting signatures from every pilot on its journey, to help document this.
I feel this project will help raise the profile of RC flying in New Zealand, and show off some of the beautifull locations we have.
At the end of its journey, the Haast will be auctioned off on Trademe (or possibly sella) and the proceeds donated to charity. I will be aproaching the Life Flight trust to see if they are interested.
If anyone feels they can help me with the project, please step forward.
Many thanks already to Chris Jackson (Jacko) who is building the Haast as we speak.
Please join me on this adventure.
Hey Mate this is a Awesome Idea would really get the word out there!!!!!!
I would be in to it but only put my name down as the last pilot if you don’t have enough people. And if you do put me last
MAby not let me fly it at all it might not be in very good flying shape after I am don with it 
Na I will play nice;-)

Hi Siang, not sure, hope to get up in the next couple of months, in Raglan next weekend
Looks simple to make. Interrested to know if there are any problems with trimming.
Hey, we will know soon, the build is just about done (riteweave plus laminating film plus covering) soon to be doing a test fly in Auckland at a secret location
