Sir George
I have trouble with posting photo - for some reason Imageshack won't work for me today. Looking into it.

STAMPE SV Series Australian Type Acceptance
 

Hi all,
A revised TCDS BCAA.A.02 issue 01 30-9-16 has been raised for the type by the Belgian CAA. The French DGAC FdeN No6 covers French built aircraft.
The french aircraft are regarded as orphan aircraft refer DGAC Bulletin D'Information BI-NAG2007/07 Rev 3 9-12-2011.
The referenced Operational & Flight Manual for the SV4B is " Pilots Notes SV 4B (EPE-EVS):)
Stampe SVF4B's being imported into Australia may be issued with a Standard CofA Normal & Acrobatic category under CASR 21.184(4) if they qualify by pre 1998 model acceptance or Cof A, or they can be flown with a Limited category CofA

This was done for the Belgian team on the VintageAirRally - so we could get permits etc. If you want more help/information please get in touch (I can also connect you with Raymond very easily as he did all the prep work on the same plane).

Cheers, Sam.

Renault
 

If you haven't changed your engine yet, I would suggest keeping the Renault, as it is a smoother and more economical engine that the Gipsy. You can always change in the future if needed. The airstart system is good if kept maintained. One thing about the Renault, in 0 g situations you can get a rich cut as the needle valve in the carb needs either positive or negative g to work. Have fun, super aeroplane and a genuine two seat aerobatic machine.

Thanks for the advice.
Too late I'm afraid. Gipsy already installed.

Thanks for the offer.
I have found a contact here in Australia who has been in contact with Raymond.
Raymond is well regarded here as well.
