I have finally reached the point where I can reasonably acquire a
purely-for-fun, low-and-slow kind of flying machine. It's not going to be my only one - I own a Twin Comanche that I use for travel. Thus I don't care how slow it is - I'm never going very far in it. I would like it to be two seats, to be something that can comfortably operate from a 1000 ft grass strip, and something with a relatively narrow wingspan or folding wings or some such - it will live in a pole barn, and the doors are not wide enough to accomodate anything more than about 18 ft. Also I have no intention of buying new or building - this must be something that I can acquire for under $20K in good flying condition and with plenty of life left in it (not a project). Also no certified aircraft of any sort need apply - homebuilt or e-LSA only. It also can't be something that requires a crew of any sort - it needs to be something I can easily pull out and launch myself. No balloons, no gliders. Also nothing foot launched - it's not so much the foot launching but the foot landing I can't take. Now, having said that - I'm otherwise flexible. Powered parachute? Trike? Three axis? Gyroplane? Any of the above would work for me. Anyone have any suggestions? Michael |
