From: Do I come here often?
I've got one, she is my pride and joy and of all the aircraft I've flown she is my favourite.

Neil Williams refused to put the Condor in his log book because he hated it, mine is the perfect antidote to flying when I have to rather than when I want to. I've flown a few different Condors and all spin very slightly differently, I've always put that down to no two could be identical due to the hand built processes and the fact that as they are wood they change slightly due to humidity and temperature.

Beware that there are a lot of metal parts passing through wood, a recover can bring on a nightmare re-build. and the undercarriage can bottom out in a hard landing giving some unseen problems. (my bank balance took a long time to get over finding that out!)

She is an honest, lively and delightful aircraft.
