ZuFiMM is in fantastic condition compared to my J430, only realizing it now, going to really miss it. You would look good in t...

Re: Jabbi Wanted -

Hi There I would recomend the J120 UL ... flies the best. Much faster than the J170/160 and glides really well. I'm trying to upgrade to 4 seater but have not found a J430 in good condition at a reasonable price yet. My J120 UL will hit the market sometime this year ... will be a sad day. I looked a...

Cheers

Re: Local Aluminum sheet supplier ?

Hi Stephan
Do you remember who you spoke to ?
Maybe the other parts sales guys only make commission on their standard stock .. that's why
they are not keen to get stuff from Aircraft Spruce ?
It's worth a third attempt .... can see myself ordering lots of stuff going forward.
