Hi all,,,
Just had to share. This evening I concluded a deal for my new Chang C-FXMI... will be flying with me soon.
Thank you to all who gave me advice, and all of your words of encouragement.
I have to brag now <grin>
Here she is: (I can’t figure out how to post a picture or a movie)
Mike
Nanchang CJ-6A Serial # 1332012, Registered as Canadian C-FXMI
The aircraft was then disassembled for full inspection, painted,
modified as noted below, reassembled and certified with a
Certificate of Airworthiness in December, 1994.
Both night and aerobatic certifications have since been received from Transport
Canada
This CJ is a 1965 model with 3,400 airframe and 339 engine hours
since installation of a “0” time since first factory overhaul stock Housai engine four years ago. Propellor is new, “0” time in Dec. 2004 – replaced at the 10 year standard overhaul time for all Canadian aircraft.
The aircraft is painted in the colours of a
Soviet Guards Sqn. of circa 1943. Both cockpits have been
refinished in standard military grey. Both airspeed indicators and
altimeters have been replaced with knots and feet respectively. Standard
equipment includes stock inverter-powered A/H and gyrosyn compasses in each
cockpit.

Mike,
Good for you! Welcome to the exclusive club of people who have enough moxie and eye for beauty to pick a CJ OVER a Yak. 
You need only now to fly a lot and get your self down to Oshkosh next year to help celibate her Fifth birthday.
