I would suggest ML417 & SM832 shot Dec05/Jan06 at Chino and local.

Hello Mark 12,thanks for putting me right on the year that this was shot. When SM832 was sold (to whom i cant remember but i’m sure you could tell me) she must of had the wing tips removed. I supposed that she was origionally a clipped wing MKXIV. When we were fitting the tips there were some guys from skycraft fitting a new prop because of a landing incident!!! when prop was fitted engine funs were needed to check things out & also to check the CSU, so engine was run to 2500 rpm & it was the first time of experiencing laying over the tail as ballast to keep it down. Think there were 6 of us doing it. You wouldnt believe the amount of thrust from a 5 bladed prop!!!!! real job to hang on. Great experience though!!!!!!
