    Pipistrel Virus

    Yes, true that, and ...vapour lock. Mogas is better for Rotax because lead from 100LL makes engine full of it in no time. Local flight school did 3500+ hours on condition with their Rotax912F3 using Shell 94 Mogas. I was flying Diamond 20 Katana with Rotax912F3 using Mogas. Vaporlock during hot...

    4 seat kits. What's out there?

    In Canada. Find a good core and get it rebuild by known shop in Canada (in Quebec). With current USD to CAD rate it looks very doable and I know someone who was able to fit exactly in indicated amount (C4B5 if I am not mistaken) On another note my calculation regarding the actual VANs RV10 kit...

    Currently RV10 kit is about $55K. Add here your engine $35-45K, prop 5K and firewall forward parts $10K. Avionics will add up another $25K for minimal IFR (Dynon). You can have flying RV10 under $150K and get the rest with the time. Where numbers $200+K comes from ? Who builds their RV10 and...

    G5 to get TAS and other goodies like wind data

    Wind direction and speed was also great feature to have during my PPL check ride when I was doing my simulated forced approach in the area with no ground orienteers for wind direction. I got dual G5 with GAD13 and Davtron OAT installed. It works flawlessly.

    Usually GMA340 these days sold around $600-$700 depends on condition and option (2-comm or 3-comm). I bought one in January for $600 but initially it was listed for $750.
