The airframe should be at Perris before the end of the year, but it will take however long it takes for the interior to be retrofitted, the engines installed and the FAA to buy off on the whole thing. There's an old saying, "good, cheap, fast -- pick two". The quality of the project has to meet FAA standards and the Conatsers don't have unlimited funds to just throw tons of mechanics at it, so the speed of completion will just have to sort of take as long as it takes.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites vdschoor 0 #18 November 25, 2003 QuoteThere's an old saying, "good, cheap, fast -- pick two".
