At least if Gippsland Aero take the Nomad over, we won't have the joys of dealing with the union run and controlled GAF like in the good old days.
Talking to an old Nomad man he reckons they spares prices were okay until the "handling" fee was added on to the part which was something like $172.00 in the mid 1980's.
I suppose Gippsland will save a few pounds on the Nomad by not having a rudder trim like in the GA-8?
