The rumours continue.

The world is really a small place. Whilst I was lying in the bath with my neighbour's wife this evening, she told me that she met the girlfriend of the famous Huey Expert, FAA Inspector Authorized, Factory Trained Test Pilot and all the bells and whistles that goes along with the usual bull

Apparently, as she was told, the Cape Town Huey guys are now planning to re-certify their Huey, ZU-CVC, to the SWFA mod, so that they can get it re-registered on the ZS register as a type certificated SWFA 205. They believe by doing that, they will solve all their problems, as the machine will then be type certified and they can then do as they please. Sure they can, but once it becomes a SWFA 205, it can't fly pax, and that is what it is mostly used for at this time. If they achieve that, which I doubt, and they continue to fly pax, then they'll be breaking the regulations. (Not that they or the SACAA really cares.)

Well, it will be interesting to see how this lot pans out.

Injector & Rebound, check your PM's.
