Guest Rillert Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hi all looking to build a 4 seater. However it needs to be all metal with around a 200 hp engine. I have seen the Tundra and also the RV. Just want to know what else is around. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 4-Seat Kit. Murphy have a "moose" which should be big enough for you. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart J Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Have a look at Australian Aircraft Kits at www.aircraftkits.com.au They have a Hornet which is a 2+2 and the Hornet AG is a true 4 seater. All metal and great prices. Will be looking to purchase from here myself, when I can sort the $$$. Hope that helps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest basscheffers Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I've been quite impressed by the Lightwing Speed 4000; near RV-10 capability for a fraction of the price and build time. http://www.lightwing.com.au/pdf/SPEEDwebSpecs.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightyknots Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 There's the all-metal Zenith CH-801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightyknots Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Try looking at the Zenith website: http://www.zenithair.com/stolch801/index1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster87 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 you can't really go past the RV 10, fast comfy and relatively easy to build, bear cat also do a nice 4 seat pacer copyMat A friend is building one but it's going to cost about $250,000.00 with all the extras [ a very nice aircraft and great cruise speed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sain Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Rillert if you want to give us some idea of the sort of flying you want to do (i.e rough as guts bush flying,weekend away cruisers etc etc, tailwheel or tri-gear etc etc) we might be able to point you in the direction of a plane that suits pretty well. Also when you say metal is a fabric covered steel tube frame aircraft acceptable (something like a bearhawk)? anyway, list of just metal 4 seat kits that the others havn't mentioned yet: Bede Aircraft (http://www.jimbede.com): BD-4C and BD-4B might suit Dream Aircraft (http://www.dreamaircraft.com): tundra might suit Glasair (http://www.glasairaviation.com): Sportsman might suit (might also be composite - not sure about that one) Murphy aircraft manufacturing (http://www.murphyair.com): Moose (6 seater, 350hp) (probably more here - check the site) Tapanee Aviation (http://www.tapanee.com): Levitation 4 (might be fabric + metal tube, not sure). If you decide to drop the must-be-metal requirement you'll find a whoooooooooole bunch of 4 seater composites and fabric+tube aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
