Also, has anyone ever negotiated for a sale, like you do with a car?

Am thinking (only thinking) of upgrading my aircraft. Thought if sales were low with manufacturers they might have end of year sales, special prices, offer discounts or throw in freebies like every other business does at time. But I’ve never heard of it happening with aircraft? Why not?

Hi, I own a Jabiru LSA, empty weight of 270kg and with max weight of 430k. It doesnt give much to play with. So I can put 2 average people in, min fuel and taxi round a bit, or a lightweight pax and enough fuel for joyflight, or by myself with 65 litres and overnight bag. We have enquired about increasing the weight limit to 470kg, but were told that there wouldn't be any weight increases available on these older models. So we play with what we've got! Hope this helps

Few years ago got back into flying and got my Jabiru LSA. love flying it and it’s great reading everyone’s posts.

Hi FBB, out of interest, did you live in Qld and fly hang gliders? I used to know a FB from there. enjoy your flying.
