Thumbs up

Ah a 1050 jodel quite a magnificent aeroplane I learnt on Condors and 1050,s at Rochester 27 years ago.I,m pretty sure the CAA will not allow 1050 model Jodels to go on a permit they really have tightened up on production aircraft eligible for a C of A going on the PFA scheme.Aircraft which slipped through the net can stay on permit but their bretheren not so transferred cannot join them.Hence the Condor situation which also applies to new import Luscombes, Cubs etc.I forgot to say in my original post the D62C variant of the Condor was produced purely as a glider tug a role in which it can in its time be described as having been moderately successfull.Hence its extra power does not really help in other areas and results in poor range.however if you want field performance it could be agood aeroplane.Very few ADs recently if any and the CAA have taken over the types design authority since the demise of Rollasons.Hope this helps feel free to get my fone no for achat if u want.!!!!
