I don't know if it is really that bad Hatz.
I know that there are a couple of things need doing for the LAA permit, for instance, three hinges on the elevator, control stops on the aerilons and two struts on the vertical to horizontal tail surfaces. I've only ever seen one example of a Starduster with only one strut and that is the Blue aircraft in my previous post. As for the taxes, there is the VAT, but what are the others?
I have to admit, I have not seen the other posts of problems with Starduster imports, if you know of any I would be interested to read them.
But the aircraft does look very nice and a friend of mine used to own one many years ago and he enthused about it!
There seems to be a number of us in the East that are interested in this sort of flying, so maybe we should talk more, think about groups, what about a Steerman!!
