VH-EPZ was fitted with a 400hp Lycoming IO-720 and a larger fin by Aerosmith on behalf of Air Parts, the New Zealand manufacturer. At the same time, Col Pay, of Pay's Air Services at Scone, did his own 400hp conversion and that was adopted by Air Parts for production. As a consequence, VH-EPZ returned to New Zealand as ZK-CXW without being registered in Australia. Before it departed it was restored to its original factory specifications.
