Ok - I've made my final desicion on building a homebuild/PFA type - that is, I can build it if
a) It's almost foolproof to build, and
b) It's cheap(ish)
So if I want something that fits these citeria AND is aerobatic (one up), I need look no further then the Sakota (ideally with a Rotax 912S but that's just more money). Alternatively I can just buy one for around €15k (£10k).
So, who's flown one? What's it like to fly/aerobat? How much does it cost to run? Insurance? Easy to build? Am I likely to end up in a ditch upside down?
A pity it looks like a Taiwanese copy of the Extra 300 :E
All replys go into a draw for the dram of their choice :}
