Clive, You probably have my numbers, but currently N31BZ has a total of just over 815 hours. I have it at listed at 1320 pounds max gross weight, but have occasionally flown it over that.

    reque... Hi Clive, there is another French registered Esqual that is flown by a Belgian guy in the North of France and it=99s a tail dragger!!! I=99ve asked him to forward hours and MTOW. I=99ve also attached a picture. Kind regards DDW From: owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Clive Sent: maandag 20 mei 2013 20:57 Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Esqual Hours request, help with Permit in UK, Final reque... Hi Jim, thanks no, it's a good question I should have explained that is where I got my list of Tail Numbers from. So far I have been kindly updated by for 11 of the 18 Esqual owners in the US, by 1 in Belgium, 2 in Australia, 1 in Italy and 1 in Portugal I have recently been kindly contacted by the owners of N312L and N46LM and now have a record of their hours and status. I heard from Antonio in Portugal who has updated me about the planes there. Sadly one aircraft and the 2 POB were lost in bad weather in some hilly countryside so it is not all good news of pilot's enjoying their Esqual's. One of the aircraft in Australia was previously unknown to me, # 54 which has done 135hrs with a 912 at 544 kgs. Buzz put me onto the FAA database in 2011 so the info below is in the public domain. Maybe readers of the list know of them? The remaining numbers are below, if I have no success on-line, I will be writing to snail mail: N117DA, registered to LSA Wings, TIJERAS, BERNALILLO, NM N925S, registered to a Richard Stiles, Panama City, Floriday Bay N937HP, for this aircraft the address is an Aircraft holding Trust in Onalaska Texas and I have today sent them an E mail to pass on to the owner/operator. N432ES, is registered to the High Point Group, BONSALL SAN DIEGO, CA Also others where I have some information: N622EA is known to someone on the list and he is trying to find out the status. For N539DB I have an E mail address for the owner, Dave Resen who I heard from in 2007, I'm hoping to get a reply from Dave, mind you it's an old E mail (2007) so I may have to write. N329SB which was built by, and still belongs to, John Jenkins, again I have E mailed John at the address from 2011. These 2 aircraft are still registered to these guys. The most important aircraft for my permit case are the ones at the higher gross weight, 540 or greater, though the more hours I have a record of the marque will help I'm sure. Total hours I currently have listed are 7357, of which 3481 are at 540kgs or greater. Thanks to all for the help and interest, I will start contacting the few French and Spanish addresses I have. There must be a way to track the aircraft in Spain and France though the agencies but I don't know how. There are some more in Australia that are not on their database, they have two systems over there. There is also the Esqual company in Sweden who I must phone as they had some contact details of Esqual owners in 2011 I am just remembering.
