We hear about working at Gulf Aeronautics, Aeromotive at Hamilton and CityJet, among other places.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">We also hear how he was first inspired to take up the challenge to design and build his own aeroplane, the Avian Adventurer. Bruce describes the ten year process of this project, from inception to the current test flying phase. We also hear about his passion for modelling the RNZAF&#8217;s aircraft in 1\/72nd scale.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Bruce also talks about the Sport Aircraft Association of New Zealand, the Black Sands Fly-In that he&#8217;s involved in organising, and upcoming seminars that SAA is holding for prospective home builders.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a
