My relative (employer) purchased a F17D S/N 332.
I have been working on getting this stagger from TX back to CA. Flown it 2 legs so far and ended up in NM. (Broke)
Flies nice, difficult on ground (taxi) due to brake issues.
Have met some very, very helpful folks along the way. Chris Jacobson, Larry in Valle, AZ, and many others.
Definitley a challenge to work on, just takes time. Finding parts another issue.
Currently having brake/rudder and fuel issues.
Actually looking for a set of LH side rudder pedals, we already have the Cleveland STC, also need a wobble pump and a fuel selector valve. This plane has 4 tanks.
Wealth of information on this forum, and I appreciatte it all.
