I can't remember your initial requirements but check out the Europa
http://www.europa-aircraft.com/ There is one now flying in nearby (?) Mongolia - after fiying the Atlantic and Pacific to get there. http://www.thomas.scherer.com/ Cheers & good luck with deciding, Pete Europa A239 dual-wing I wouldn't expect to fly above 3000 feet AGL. The Himalayas area is simply fun to fly and may be relatively easy to fly in the name of "air sport" even if I don't file any flight plan, but not try to escape radar coverage. very true there's very limited civilian ATC radar coverage in that area, but you bet, the military radar covers the whole area like a net--a double-layer net. My compulsory military training in the high school was in a radar regiment's headquarter. They have radar stations in most of those mountains easily above 15000 feet in Himalaya area, only accessible by mules and choppers (they use the US blackhawk, interesting? I don't know which kind of mule they use though), and they are not the only radar division there..... Sorry to distract the topic. I think Moose is too big for my misson. I am now looking fr a 2-seater which uses Rotax 912 or 914 engine(these engines seem to be designed to use mogas.) The choice list seems endless in this class, hard work ahead...... |

Thanks Del,
I was not aware of the Bearhawk. Looks like a great design. Aviation is amazing. You study it for years and still find more that you did not know. James Del Rawlins wrote in message ...

I naturally come here to sort for help from you, the veteran builders (both skills and age. I am in 20s and I read the average age of kit plane builders is over 50--this scares me.) Here are my requirements for the "dream plane" at this stage: snip You might consider the Bearhawk, even though it probably has more STOL capability than you need. The prototype gets good performance with a 180hp lycoming and several builders have installed/are installing IFR panels. I believe the kit company has a builders' assistance center in Florida. http://www.bearhawkaircraft.com/ ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.
