Hi all. I'm new here, but keen to benefit from the accumulated wisdom of the forum members.
I've just converted to RAA licence from GA, having found myself in need of transport, and no longer having a cessna to fly. After considerable research and deliberation I concluded that I needed an aircraft with the following attributes.
1. all metal
2. folding (high) wings
3. single seat, enclosed cabin
4. reliable air cooled engine
5. safe and proven design, preferably Australian pedigree
6. good stol performance more important than cruise speed, but not under 80 kts cruise.
7. taildragger
8. affordable.
now it seems that nothing fits these requirements perfectly, but the Supapup comes close, apart from not being all metal.
Any thoughts and/or advice most welcome.
