dazza 38 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 My toss up is between a Superstol Highlander and a Savage Cub S. (This is a future plan in about 5 years). Until then I will enjoy my Drifter, (which I grounded today due to unserviceable Wing Fabric ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 you planning on winning the lotto Dazza for that cub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gforce Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 That was my other choice... I did SO much research on both the HL and SC and the HL won hands down.. actually, the savage cub has some interesting stall characteristics that I felt were somewhat of a negitive given my low hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Savage Cruiser I flew a couple of years ago had VG's fitted and it could be savage in a power on Stall. I really loved flying her though.

dazza 38 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 you planning on winning the lotto Dazza for that cub? LOL- Yes. Actually the Highlander SS would be better I guess as the missus hates tandem seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right ! Also, the company have been bought and sold more times than a street hooker and that gave me little confidence in back up. I also just could not love the looks.. Its based on a Rans S-7 and I tried to order a new one from Rans... But they kinda messed me around a bit then said they had decided to no longer offer the S7 as a RTF plane..

Guest nunans Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'd like the slats to be linked or manually operated. The thought of one in and one out at low speed would quickly have me looking up through the roof at the dirt I think!! The main gear suspension looks just right though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maj Millard Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hey Mark, how about you build it and I'll do the test flight...deal ???...........Oh and my mate Hongie, well he can just pay the money !!........................Maj... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongie Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Sounds like a good deal for me! but in all seriousness, i think building it would be half the fun... I wonder if it would be doable in a standard double garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
