This 250 was modified to 120 gallons.  Lots of work was done on the spar so it would match a 120 gallons 295 wing.  May be this is when he switc also for a three blades geared engine.  It is owned by a very colorfull person that i had chance to meet when i was trying to learn to fly the 800, my first Helio.  This pilot was able to land or take-off with whatever crosswind there was.  He is the one that showed me to use the spoilers once you touch the ground.  To keep the Helio in the center of the runwy and not agravating your case by lowering the wing in the crosswind as you normally do with other planes.   As per the instructor manual for Helio.  Without him, i would had groundloop my Helio a couple of time.  I am glad i met this pilot that was doing anything he wanted with his 250  ( at the time it was still an unmodified 250 )

He his known to have a very adventourous life involving formidable mission that sometimes ends up in the newspaper not always in the section Weekend Family.  Let's say he does pilot the Helio with missions that match very close the ones Air America was doing with their own Helios.

As a person, if you accept or not the trade he is in, and as a pilot, he is very impressive.

Anyone know why current registry is in question?

What do you mean ?

[Doug Johnson]

Louis, last time I look C-FZWL up in the registry it was in question so i jotted down a note.

I suppose the renewal was late or something I should have looked it up before posting.

Everything appears to be in order now.

added info on 120 gal LR fuel

Thanks, Doug
