Our names are Robert & Anne Bellert and we are from Australia I have been a pilot for 28 years and have a few planes all certified which cost considerable money to keep maintained by LAME so we decided to build our own plane and do my own maintenance we built a RV/7 three years ago and enjoyed the process so much when finished I still had the bug to build some more so we sold our Cessna 172 to finance another kit,As we had a two seat kit plane we wanted to build a 4 place kit after much searching we got down to 2 kits and the Tundra was one of them as there were none in Australia to look at but plenty of the RV/10,s it was a long and agonizing decision to send a lot of money to a company halfway round the world for something that I have only seen pictures of, but when the big box turned up and we unpacked it,It was good to see the quality was of a high standard and the colour coded drawings are easy to follow .
We did a trip to the USA and of course went to Oshkosh 2010 and there we met the people behind the kit and it was great to be able to meet and talk face to face with the people we have been communicating with via email only and it only took a few minutes to be at ease with the team ,We have kit number 36 and the first one in Australia and so far we have finished all the tail feathers and the left wing and it is all going well. I am now very pleased that I have chosen the Tundra Kit to build.
