Hey guys,I bought a GN-1 last year and finally got it to Dallas. Theplane was built in 1985 and went through four owners beforelanding here.The son of the second owner (also a pilot) called and said his dad had passed away. His dad always used the "N"designation 121SP. Over the 30 years of owning 20 airplanes,he would put this number on various craft including the GN-1.He said he would help me in obtaining a new tail numberin exchange. I told him as soon I can find a replacementdesignation, I would surrender mine.My question is, since "Experimental" is painted on both sidesof my plane, can I have a designation beginning with "NX" and whatever number and drop the "Experimental" signage?I think I read somewhere if the design and/or plane is 30 yearsor older the above is permitted. Again, I don't know the rulingon that.I thought I would let the pros in the group steer me in the right direction.Thanks.....Mike KingGN-1Dallas________________________________________________________________________________
