I can help you out for sure, as I am German. We have to move back to Germany in 3 month, because my tour here in the US is over and I will retire from the Air Force (German AF). I am interested in the Speed Canard. Please contact me under: uschmitt@sw.rr.com
Registering a "new" aircraft in Germany is not easy at all, because of all the restrictions. Noise, environment, etc. It is often much easier to keep an N number, as I will with my Pitts.
