I think it might be a guy that goes by the user name "Mickvds". I've always admired his plane!
Does the contact seller link in the for sale ad work?

Hey Korale
How's your build going? What engine are you using?
I see the guy in WA says his HiMax flies & handles like a Cessna 150. All I can say to that is he must have built it wrong.

Hi Bruce,
I had to pause my build for a some time but I'm back now, I'll start posting pictures when I have something to show.
I'm planning on using a MZ201 as the Engine.

Hi Korale
Glad you're back building. It would be a real shame not to finish & fly your plane. I'm sure Gangeli will be able to advise on the MZ201.
I think maybe you two have already been in contact? I really liked my MZ202, & the 201 is basically the same engine.
The only problem I had was with the exhaust mounting. It needs an extra flexible element between the manifold & first cone to prevent cracking.
Good luck with your build - try & do a little bit every day.
Bruce
