Bruce Walker of Tauranga designed and built this homegrown microlight which used some components from a Quicksilver that Bruce had previously owned. The wing is a high lift Australian Tyro kitset wing of 32 foot span, and the pusher engine is a Rotax 447 which gives a cruise of around 70 mph.

Bruce Walker Custom Skylark ZK-MYT (c/n TY 6520, I guess for the Tyro wing) was first registered by Bruce on 1/12/00, and is still current. Bruce says it has done around 200 hours and flies really well. Bruce keeps it in a hangar on a topdressing strip near Te Puke.
Bruce advises that ZK-MYT is for sale. If anyone is interested please add a comment to this post and I will advise him.
