jim
excellent much appreciated.
I am getting a bit ahead of myself. HJ460 is ready to fly but I am waiting
on a combination of the authorities and my flying club for an airworthiness
certificate. I then have to go through testing and ironing out the bugs.
The idea is to fly to the USA at the end of the year and then re register
as a US aircraft at some time after that. Bud already said that it is
possible to do this.
it sounds like I should put some lights in in any case and I dare say that
an ELT would be a good investment for the flight up through central America
or across the caribbean in any case :-)
Many thanks
Will
