Guest asmol Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 It looks pretty small, i bet the front wheel/landing leg cover would drop you out of the sky with the gear down. otherwise NICE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDQDI Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Wow 240 thousand euros, I could nearly buy my 8seat turbine Sherpa for that (ok not mine but we can all dream:chuffed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 It's about the same price as a Cessna 172. or an AMG Mit Kompressor. Chick magnet. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 After my above post, I looked out the window, the rain had stopped, the wind had dropped, so I jumped on the push bike, rode down to the strip and took the Drifter up....Water on the strip in a couple of places but enough ground between the puddles to get off safely....Wouldn`t have been able to do that with the RISEN! You`d be frightened to get it dirty!!!... Frank. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Wow, thats a fast little sexy number. 190km/h economy cruise at 6.5 lts/hr for 2360km range. Damn that is a slippery beast. It may be expensive but so is a Ferrari. It has quite a low MTOW but could be higher for non euro rules, like us. Need to clean screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 You can dribble with envy Frank, but with what you have, it just gets blown out the back. Unless you wear an open neck shirt that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litespeed Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yeah!...But not everyone can afford a Ferrari, either!!!.........Frank. A mere trifle of money, never let reality come into that.

K-man Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Nice aircraft but with me and my wife and enough gear for a weekend away there is no room for any fuel. Another weekend stuck at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi303 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I had a look at the website... What I like is the range... 1900Km at 55% power and 230Kmhr or 2300Km at long range cruise and 190kmhr. At 55% power you have the range to skip Norfolk Island and jump straight from NZ to Lord Howe Island with 350Km or 750km in reserve at those speeds. It's WAY outside my price range, but it makes trans-tasman fly-ins possible if still somewhat impractical :P Hopping aboard jetstar may be more practical, but if you're going to visit the cuzzies, why not do it the fun way? Being single I wouldn't need room for the wife, unlike K-man, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavalon48 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 very nice plane, insurance may be an issue, i am sure there is a question on carbon fibre hulls due to toxicity ie; cleaning up on a crash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
