Yes, I can see how three would work quite nicely. The agreement as proposed is to run a certain number of years at which point we can...

Thank you. I have seen an Aeronca that had "CONV" physically stamped on its data plate when converted from one model to another. Partly...

Maybe. What aircraft model is listed on the AWC and registration? Back in the day, the CAA would "recertify" aircraft with similar TCs...
