Paul, your Cruiser looks amazing. I'm looking forward to reading about it in November. How much gear can you fit in the back? Did you buy it new?

The Savage Cub in Red looks awesome with the Alaskan Bush Wheels.

Has your mate taken cross country? My only fear is they may be a tad slow for touring. Have you seen the wing folding mechanism? It is marketed as quick and easy, so you can trailer it home. No more expensive hangar fees.

The Savage Cub looks like a great aircraft, especially for remote Australian work (Stations, Farms and Resorts). Has anyone had any experience with the Classic Cub or the new larger Savage Cub?

Tomo, Thanks for the follow up. I have seen a few around the $130 000 mark and with 24-xxx regos. At the moment I am still researching my market and negotiating with the flying school on how the aircraft will be leased. More realistically I wont have the finances available for the purchase until about May 2012. I have been very impressed with the P300 I have seen, still yet to fly one.

The Hawk 200 does look like a nice aircraft. I picked the 300 because I am looking at providing training for RAA pilots wanting to progress onto their CPL at a later date. The 300 would give them exposure to Retractable Gear and a Variable Pitch Prop during cross country training and post license hour building. Additionally the sliding canopy is a big win for taxiing in the NT.

I am looking to purchase a Pioneer 300 in order to place it online at a local flying school. Has anybody had any experience in this area or can offer advice about purchasing a 300 in general?
