Thanks to:

The "Kiko Master", that in my opinion, is one of the bests A & P of Brazil. His ability had stimulated this project a lot.

To "Sir" Ítalo Da Silva, chief mechanic of Brasilia Aeroclub; for some opinions, screws, nuts and rivets "donated" to the project;

To my beloved mother Heloisa, who much helped me receiving some aircraft parts in her address in the United States, bringing me some of them personally and, when it was not possible, always have found a way to direct them to me.

To support given by my father Eduardo, whose love for aviation and the desire to face challenges, made possible this project;

To all friends who gave me incentive;
