I certainly would'nt recommend the G register! It seemed logical to transfer from French registration when I bought my Robin. But the ludicrous requirements of CAA surveyors became almost comical before I pulled the plug and abandoned the whole exercise. For example: They have a generic requirement for a starter warning light. So I duly reactivated a redundant warning light circuit to provide it. But this was considered to be a mod and required full investigation and approval by EASA. Next they considered that my then recent top overhaul was not properly documented and needed to be investigated by a licensed engineer. When they started talking about removing some of the fabric wing covering to investigate the wood structure ..I told them to get lost! Like I say some Brits love rules rather than results
