Hi all,
I’m looking for some advise please.
I’m a 200 hr PPL. I used to own my own aircraft, a BE33 with an IO550 in it, now sold and I’m looking at purchasing another aircraft.
I primarily commute, a there and back trip of 100NM, which goes through a military restricted zone, once a week VMC permitting.
I want a low fuel burn and around 90-100kts, reasonable x wind capability. 1POB and 10kgs of baggage. I used to rent 2 hangars spaces, one at origin and one at destination, both of which I have relinquished so new aircraft will be kept outside under covers.
I have considered the following. RV’s with lycoming 320 power plants, your usual Piper archer/Cherokee/warrior Ac and even Skyfox Gazelle with Rotax power plants. The benefit of the Skyfox is I could keep it in an enclosed trailer.
Thoughts please
