Velvet,

Nope, am into engineering, not paperwork... BTW, am Swiss. Don't usually put my residence address on my mail, though, as if you send out any mail from here, doors slam shut before you can spell "Nigeria"! Wonder why...

Well, there's also that Nigerian I know...

Just tell him what exactly you want on your passport, and I'm sure you'll get one better than the Government's own!

George, I'll do as suggested. The aircraft will be ferried to Switzerland sometime in January, and I'll prepare it and pick it up from there in April-May. Would have preferred to do it now (WX... storms start around April here, while now we only have problems of visibility due to Sahara dust in the ...

Rivet lines are straight. Panel has a DG, a K170 with CDI, and a transponder. There is a Garmin antenna on...

After long months searching left and right on 4 continents, I am negotiating a 170B. It's a 1955 model, fresh OH with new Millennium, good airframe and controls, but pretty basic. VFR only, no Auto Fuel STC (definitely need one here), no mods, and a paint job that will soon need attention. Would 44k...

Thanks!

If the straight tail is more effective than the round one, looks will be passed in favour of function...

What are the differences in handling between a late 170B and straight-tail 172 tailwheel?

Thanks...
