Some here have been watching aviation far longer than I - are these problems with development & design spasmodic things, inherent to the industry as a whole, or what?

No....not much more to do.....lots of new panels all ready to fit, then the cockpit fit out. Im back in that hanger on thursday, so I'll see if i can get a time frame for you.

QUOTE (mechaneer @ Oct 12 2010, 11:56 AM) Does anyone know who performs the maintenance for the Canterbury Aero Club aircraft? I was going to mention them but thought you might be after something bigger... (aircraft-wise that is)... They employ their own engineers - at least a couple.
