 * Article fails update length requirement – there has been no suitable expansion between October 23–28, or on any other applicable date interval. --hydrox (talk) 04:25, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Errrr, I beg your pardon? The article has in fact been expanded between October 28 and 30, going from 377 characters to 2349 characters, well over a 5x expansion. DYKs are added to the list on the date the expansion started, which was October 28, and the "Specifications" table is not counted torwards article prose length. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:45, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * O'RLY? Are we talking about the same article? I see total expansion Sept 27–Oct 30 about x2. --hydrox (talk) 04:50, 3 November 2011 (UTC) Sorry, I am really new to this. I was just looking at article byte size. I will re-review the article in a minute. --hydrox (talk) 04:52, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries, I made that same mistake myself a couple of times. :) You might want to see about using DYKcheck, it's a handy little gadget. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:04, 3 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Second take. Prose update on Oct 27–Oct 30 as confirmed by prosesize.js: 399 to 2417 bytes (6.06x fold increase). Length OK. Multiple, reliable, secondary, independent sources. But.. please excuse my ignorance, but does the hook hold actually? How is fully-indigenous defined here? Quote: "Apart from some light sports aircraft, this is also the first all-South African manned aircraft design since the Denel Rooivalk attack helicopter, which was conceived 26 years ago."AFAIK a helicopter is an aircraft. Hook length OK. Looks OK to me if hook factuality is cleared. --hydrox (talk) 05:22, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * After I posted the original DYK the claim got muddled when the Rooivalk got brought up. It appears to be the first fully indigenous military fixed-wing aircraft but that's getting a little overly specific for a DYK hook! So how's this? - The Bushranger One ping only 05:00, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that the AHRLAC is intended to be a less expensive manned alternative to reconnaissance drones?
 * Okay, changing review to all clear. Another possibility would have been changing aircraft -> airplane I guess. --hydrox (talk) 14:39, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Possibly, but we generally try to avoid using "airplane" if possible. ;) - The Bushranger One ping only 18:46, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
