Some duff info posted already I,ve owned a Condor outright for 16 years and hold all the remaining type specific spares which I purchased in a van load from Rollasons.About half the factory built Condors remaining are on Permits but the CAA stopped any further transfers from C. of A. many years ago in a change of policy.Mines on a C of A and if you have a friendly and trusting licenced engineer its no more expensive to be on C of A and most probably less hassle.Certainly the paperwork is cheaper from the CAA over 3 years!!.The aeroplane is very robust and doesn,t seem to suffer the woodwork/glue problems Jodels do.Handling is delightful but the type has a propensity to drop a wing at the stall and spins quite aggresively if allowed to (3 turn limit).Stall is 38 knots with full flaps but not all were built with flaps they do help on short fields.The big problem with the D62c as opposed to the D62b is that it is fitted with a 130 hp 0-240 engine as opposed to the 0-200 in the b.This results in very little extra performance except for improved climb/field perfomance if you need it.However the aircraft has only a 15 I .gal./69 ltr. tank which at 23 lts.an hour on a b only gives 2 hours 30 mins safe and is further reduced on the c for no gain. If there was one thing I would change aaabout my aircraft it would be to increase its tankage.Cockpit is exceptionally wide for its class. If you want more info .leave a post and I,ll happily chat on the phone.For info I,ve flown 11 individual Condors over a 26 year period and at least 1200 of my 12400 hours have been on thr type.
