I'm guessing that there's possibly also a bit of history between himself and the managment of the shopping centre, because you would otherwise imagine th...

Depending on the age of the 320 and whether or not the valves are suitable for running on Mogas it mightn't be that costly a conversion, since it's basically down to compression ratio, and changing it possibly through substituting different head gaskets.......but!

Heli1,

I have a feeling that you can't do training in Ireland in a Rotorway, and in the U.K too also....correct me if I'm wrong. It woulds a great way to do it if allowed.......unleaded fuel, to mention just one good point.
