Bae has a tecnam they brought for fire work. Trouble is with all the gear in it it's over weight pmsl. Spent a cool $1mil on it. Think it's done less than 10 hours. Then had a nose gear that would not retract and done a nose scrap at Tamworth. Sat in the hangar since. Has two electrical systems. One 12 v and one 24v what a cock up. Two of everything including battery's.

Cheers
