theaviator 332,
Good stuff from 27/09.
My reference to customs and charges was well found, there have been some serious stuff-ups.
One chap, who flew an ultralight to NZ was presented with bill of about $5000, took the shine of the celebration of the first direct crossing of the Tasman in such a small aircraft.
I had a big blue when I had an aircraft stuck at Ardmore, and I brought in a spare radios from home, finally got my money back after a long battle ---- all because the wrong box was ticked.
You just get the odd one who doesn't believe you are not going to sell the aircraft or spares in NZ.
Tootle pip!!
