Guest Dr Nick Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hey, I will soon be getting my pilots license, and was wondering if anyone knew of a nice cheap (very cheap) plane I could get myself. It has to have 2 seats, and I must be allowed to fly it with only an RA license (ie fall into the specs of an RA license). The Jabiru seems to look good, and I'm not sure I'll find anything under $94,450 as good as it. So, basically all I'm looking for is a lot of ideas so I can look through and see some planes I might buy... Thanks in advance, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Macnoz Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 gee that's the price of a J230 what about the J160C at 74k ish or the J120 at 58k ish drive away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 or the J120 at 58k ish drive away? Actually if it was me, I'd prefer to fly it away... I don't think I'd go to all the trouble of getting a road worthy myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr Nick Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Wow, sounds great to me! I'll check them out ASAP, can't right now though. 58K would be great! :D Thanks a load, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr Nick Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Wowee! What a range of planes to look at for great prices! This is exactly what I wanted in this thread! I'm taking a look at all of them, thanks everyone, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofastclint Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 when it comes out I buy the "World Directory of Leisure Aviation" it has over 1500 things that fly. Starting from the bottom and working its way to the top. Look it up in google search and order it, less that $30 to your door. My wife calls it my bible, as I am always reading it. Knowing that there are 100s of aircraft in your price range is a good thing as you can get exactly what tickles your fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sain Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 There is also the Morgan Aeroworks Cheetahs and Sierras - I believe both models would come out cheaper than that. 2nd hand one for sale in the members market - see the back of the RA-AUS rag, or: Members' market There are a lot of 2 seater aircraft for sale in the members market, almost all of them well under your price range. There is also a Sabre for sale, complete with in flight adjustable prop, retractable landing gear etc etc for around that Jab's price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
