Hannah DowlingHOST
So CASA doesn't, you know, unless the doctor... feels there is good reason for CASA to be involved, they won't get them immediately involved.

quite impressive because so many people are thinking of building planes and getting into mechanical technology stuff.

If you want to build your own plane in Australia, you have to get a permit from an organisation called the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
EmilyHOST
Right now, the authority says there are more than 1,700 planes in Australia built by people like Len.
EmilyHOST
That's impressive, Len.
