Default F86e

Hi David, disc brakes are required to pull it up on my short driveway/runway. The engine may possibly have a bit more thrust than the standard 997.

Hi Darrell, this aircraft is the last one (I have been informed) produced by Canada, serial plates are still in place, SAAF number 383.

The plane spotters out there will know this aircraft has had a long and sad story of neglect.

Hi Grant, The Orenda is the engine of choice for the Sabres still airworthy. There are a pile of engines sitting at a South Africa airfield, outside of course.

Regards,
Wayne.
