Re: Xenon Gyro

Nice photo Willie and interesting to see the shipping - this is a new Zen1 built by Aviation Artur Trendak ( AAT ) and not a Xenon built by CA ( CA have yet to deliver their first gyro since the split in Dec 2011 ).


Cheers

Re: Does anyone know where G-CDEC is now?

Wobbly - that's good news.

Will it aspire to a local "Z" Zimbabwe registration ? The "G" reg expired in 2011.

Re: Does anyone know where G-CDEC is now?
