Remarks
|
This aircraft is under CAMO maintenance and has been hangared during it's entire life.
In the pictures the Gomolzig exhaust silencer (underneath the cowling) is visable but has been removed due to the STC for the MT-propeller. Without the Gomolzig the airplane looks nicer. The 3-blade MT is quiter then the McCaulley and therefore the added noise by removing the Gomolzig is compensated.
