Heard the same about Nutter. Last known living in a caravan park in Hamble. A bit of a rough diamond, but never did me any harm. Always heard we was into various ventures, but with other peoples money. . .As for the AA5's. Was flying BJDO, BIPV, OMOG from solent and hiring PORK from BM. Then solent brought in the Katana's (plastic motor glider) didn't last. Then shiny new PA28's. The AA5's may not be shiny any more, but far better to fly than the forementioned tubs. In tiger guise, more speed than the warrior (which flies like a barge). Better access, flaps, fuel selector etc.. .Mainly flew from concrete so never had an issue with nose wheel.. .Its a good thig there back in production. To give those nasty pipers and cessna's a run for their money.. .Note the only thing I've flown recently I liked almost as much id the beach 26, sundowner. Plenty of room, two doors and a sturdy undercarriage. 180 hp fixed, but not many about.. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 10 March 2002, 13:32: Message edited by: PHANTOM-1609 ]</small>
