I guess thats one way to make 205B's.............
Many years ago Fuji Bell developed and certified the 205B which really is more like a 212 with a single -17 than a 205A1 ever was/is. Have a look at the FAA TC Datasheet and you will see it applies to 1 serial No. There are a few 205 A1's that have been converted with the blessing of Bell. 11,200 Internal GW and the sharp nose and extended pitot tubes like a 212 get fitted as well. After all a 205 is about as difficult to look after as a 206, just bigger.
