Doesn't sound too onerous; perhaps stories I've heard of o/h costs of 3-4k are just that.
What sort of o/h costs could I expect?

2000hrs seems fair enough but is 6 yrs for a 100hr pa permit type essential?

Could someone point me to LAA requirements please? Is there an on condition mode? Thanks

I know I am biased but the Escapade is the most practical 2 seater for folding and trailer transport, it is also British design and well supported.

The prospect of touching down with some brake applied in a taildragger is not a pleasant one. Depends on the system as Mark A. says the Chipmunk style of differential works well when clicked in for a crosswind. Also depends on geometry setup and in some cases the strength of braking setup.

That's really not bad -- he could have afforded a stress engineer out of that! :D I wonder how many would have been sold if the first one ha...

Following on from the Cirrus example I imagine that these will increasingly be designed into any new aircraft.

Have you ordered CAVOK and tailwinds (both ways) please?

Hi Brian, Looking forward to reading the mag as usual. Perhaps I should wait but I assume that from Roger's Chairman's Chat 'We are also looking as the possibility of an “experimental” approach to amateur build – as in Canada and Australia - which though in the early stages of germination could be a...
