Does anyone know of somewhere I can easily compare performance data on specific aircraft, eg MTOW, empty weight, fuel capacity, endurance, speeds, MTOW take off run etc etc
I am considering buying a non complex SEP and may be looking to share with 1, possibly 2 max. All my time thus far has been on a Warrior, which I hire from my club. I find this slightly limiting and my initial thought is to go for an Archer. But what else is out there that I might want to consider? 4 seats and very good load carrying is more important than range.
On paper, a Robin DR400/180 looks to be a very worthy contender, but I am not convinced about a stick rather than a yolk, having flown one yesterday for an hour or so. It also felt very very light compared with the solid Warrior. I will have another go in it next week before counting it out though.
Comments and suggestions would be welcomed, and if anyone is in a similar situation and could be interested in an aircraft based at Shoreham, then let me know
Thanks in advance
