It went through vigorous testing last friday night at pint club hosted by the boys at Thunderbikes. So now its just finishing of all the little jobs and she will be up and ridding.

ZK WAL has landded on a rock out side the Wanaka Transport & Toy Museum. No one Can find the pilot, but that,s nothing new. MAY E Machine has still a few things to do to finish the OZ copter, but hope to get it fully operational soon.

We have just finished a nice pice. This is a destination bus blind from Bath going through its tests in the workshop. MAY E Machine is really living up to its alleged name as the south islands little Weta workshop.

The airplane light fitting has gone through it’s test and now it is flying somewhere around Wanaka. It looks grate. It was nice to have the opportunity to make something so cool.

MAY E Machine has discovered that a pirate video of a test run of the top secret OZcopter has been leaked on youtube. The local cyber police are following it up, they have been questioning a 47 year old man from Tarris who’s name has been suppressed by the court.

Its all going on at the machine this week. here is a nice tool out of the machine shop and some progress pics of the light fitting.

The airplane light fitting is moving along nicely. Out of the paint shop and lighting systems going in.

Wal get his first hands on the new OZcopter. He said the chopper feels good but he still needs work on his makeup and if we could stitch him up some cloths he will feel a little less exposed.
