Sorry for the duff info, I must have mis-understood what a Condor owning colleague told me about his situation. Does the transfer to permit situation apply to all factory built aircraft? I fly on private cat. but know that the permit option is a life saver for a lot of people without easy access to a good approved engineer.
I've personally not had problems with glue and woodwork with Jodels, but undoubtedly with 20-40 year old aeroplanes built in many different factories and with variable hangarage and maintainence over the years, the potential is all too real.
My 1050 though gives me 95 knots, three up using 20 litres/hour and with 110 litre tanks, I find the combination hard to beat. It's also a delight to fly, if not quite as robust as your lovely Condor.
Thanks for putting me right, its good to have such a pool of knowledge on hand in the Forum.
