	STOL CH 701 in New Zealand
		Two Hokitika retired plane enthusiasts, Norman Bishop and Keith Ross, have built a kit set micro-light from a Canadian bush plane design.
		The all-aluminium micro-light plane is bigger than some certified planes and the relative size of the craft will enable it to take off in a short distance and to land in all types of terrain.
		Mr Bishop said the plane is a bit slower than an arrow but its feather weight and power make it incredibly economical to run and should be a good plane for Mr Ross to learn to fly and earn his wings in.
