Matt Ricciardi Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The Czech Light Aircraft Association granted final approval for JMB to fly all VL3s with the 750kg gross weight increase option, according to an e-mail several U.S. customers received from a U.S. sales agent today.

Rather ridiculous that we're having to glean updates on our aircraft from social media in the face of continuing radio silence from the factory.

Jim Badalamenti Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Several of us have been pushing for regular updates and some promises that might start happening soon. Proof in the pudding. A great product, can't say that about process and communication. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodes Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The logjam might have broken loose. Josh texted me earlier today that my plane is scheduled to be test flown next week and they'll be able to provide a shipping date after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
