Flying the "Tin Parachute"
I was just completing the annual inspection on our 1967 Rallye 100, this reminded me of how well they were built. (apart from the bits that "rust")
I think they are a much better training aircraft than the Cessna & Piper, and have been surprised that the PZL Kolober (Rallye) has not sold in greater numbers.
I just enjoy flying them so much, compared to, say a C150, The Rallye has the best STOL performance for a 100 hp, a genuine 22 knot crosswind limit (and it will do better than that when required) and a stall at about 40 mph
It will only fly at 100 mph but you do have a "stick" and you do get the best view going, and two large people have plenty of room.
You can still pick up a good one for about £10 -12 K
Out of about 50 type logged I still think its the best fun aircraft for the money, if you have never flown one, have a go.
