29|05|2004 - 530 hours! Cheetah CH-009 has reached over 530 flying hours. The aircraft ZU-CUH, currently owned by Koos van Rensburg, was initially a training aircraft, operated by Gary Authers @ 3rd Airschool. After 398 training hours the aircraft was thoroughly inspected by our technicians before it was sold into private ownership and since then Koos has increased the number of flying hours to over 530! The aircraft has since undergone another thorough inspection at 500 hours and to our great satisfaction still remains in excellent condition. There are no signs of major fatique on the frame and sail. We are confident that it will do again as many hours without replacement of any major components.
