Aircraft info/advice
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking into building an airplane kit. All the experience here could probably help me as opposed to a blind search. I'm looking for a kit that would be consider IFR flyable. Would probably lean towards four seat but a my wife won't fly is probably not mandatory. I would like something that would at least approach 200mph. And I would also like a quick build option. Metal/composite probably doesn't matter. Price is a moderate issue. A Lancair IV-P fully decked out would not be out of reach but truthfully more than I would be probably willing to spend. I would like something considered safe and practical. I don't need a plane with fighter like characteristics. I would like add a full range of equipment that I would feel would make it safer both VFR and IFR. ie GPS, Autopilot ( can you do this in kits ?) and IFR capable. Am I asking too much? Thanks for any advice of planes I may look into. I haven't flown in several years so I apologize if some of my questions are stupid or outdated. I would like to build now and the begin flying again especially as I approach the time I would like to retire. One specific plane I have been looking at is Van's RV-10. Any comments on this? Really have not come across any other options. Thanks Barry |
