Oh dear.
Perusing the Silence Twister build manuals (available
online), I've discovered that I can't even understand most of the instructions, let alone follow them (what does 'laminate' mean in the context of using epoxy on flight control surfaces??
I've concluded that I'd put the wings on backwards and not know any better. Harsh, but fair - I can be a bit... absentminded at times. So, I need all your opinions - I'm looking to buy (not right now, in another 6-12 months) a PFA (second hand) aircraft that has the following:
Needed:
1. 125kts cruise +/- 10kts (roughly) with 4+ hours endurance
2. 2 seats (can't leave parents/brother/girlfriend out)
3. Is distinctly aerobatic (can handle snap rolls, spins and (ideally) negative manouvres)
4. Costs less then, say €60,000 (£40,000)
Nice to have:
1. Rotax or equivalent engine (Lyc or Cont if needs be)
2. Trailerable (nice, but not that essential)
3. Can be adapted to glass cockpit (again, nice to have, but not a big deal)
Pretty tall order I think, Silence Twister is nice but only one seat and no s/h examples around. I can't think of any others really, unless you start talking RVs - a Harmon Rocket I/II maybe? Beers are on me if you come up with a good idea!
