skippydiesel Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 ATEC Solo - Pre loved - its in Europe unfortunately but if the price is right https://www.planecheck.com/eu/aspdet.asp?nr=49883. Fantastic performance about $50 K Au but importation /registration/GST will add another approximately $10 K - Still for $60K you get incredible performance & econamy.

Yenn Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I am thinking of hanging up the headset. I reckon 85 years old is good enough for me. That means I will have my Corby to go to a good home sometime soon. Haven't thought about price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APenNameAndThatA Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Single seat four stroke. I'd go with this. Late model for this particular aircraft. You would need to get an independent inspection, and factor in shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueadventures Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Two seats are good to fly one up and when you on sell or upgrade more market opportunity, plus if you do some travelling can carry gear on pax seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRviator Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 If you have the $$, I'd get a small 2 seater over a roomy single seat. Even if its' only somewhere to throw your nav bag & water bottle. There's a couple of Jabiru's for sale on the RAAus classifieds for $26.5 and $27.0 and a GR912 for sale down Tasmania way but both obviously not singles. I saw a Sapphire for sale that I'm thinking about buying if its' still around when I've moved house, for $11.5 but I'm told they aren't that great for taller pilots - and it has a '447 in it, and you said you're after a 4-stroke. Check out Lightwing's page - they look to have a Pocket Rocket with a 582 available now for $12K. That's good value, even if it is a 2 stroke...

facthunter Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I'd recommend Hi wing tandem seat as most versatile and best visibility (except in turns, but you look before you turn) Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
