I’ll be heading back west on vacation between Sept 9 and 15. I’ll spend a couple days in Whistler initially, 3-4 days on the Island then back to Vancouver on the 14.
Any pilots out there who fly regularly? I’d love to hitch a ride and see BC the way it’s meant to be seen! Fuel’s on me!
Pm if...
I initially thought that 100LL should always be considered as a last resort for the Rotax 912... (Never owned one). But the more I read the more I hear about guys using it almost exclusively or very often without any significant downside apart from the 25hr oil change.
Some suggest...
Mo gas availability for cross country ferry flight in Canada?
Planning a ferry flight later this summer where I'll be taking my newly purchased plane back home to Quebec from the Calgary area.
Lacking experience in that department so I'm calling on fellow pilots to get some insight on mo...
750 Cuizer I like. But not fast by any means...
Pipistrel is great, but mucho $$. The alpha trainer might be more affordable, but close to 100K CAD anyway... ouch.
As I said in the requirements, I would prefer tricycle gear. First and foremost for visibility, and side by side configuration.
But, I'm open for suggestions, going tailwheel would require training.
Love the RV12, but a little tight for me. When I sat in one, It felt tighter than my RV6 which isn't what I'm looking for. Sitting in the Sportcruiser or the CTLS/SW was night and day. Lots of space and very confortable... With just 5-6" more width
Interesting looking bird! I'd probably need to get a kit or a partially built one to get in the air... From what I've seen online, they tend to be 75/80K + which isn't the money I'm looking to spend on a kit plane anyway... Especially one with a 100mph cruise. But still an option.
