gee genghis...
thanks a lot for that info. i'll print and have a look at it over the weekend...but in ireland one needs a microlite rating. would be easier to stick to the conventional...but i take your point. also he will want to use it in winter conditions to meetings and so might need something on the more substantial side but not as expensive as some of the very new and very solid microlites.
he will need to go back a bit in time..

thanks for all that info...which i will print and give to my friend.
pilot DAR...many thanks indeed...can you give me figures for the COLT..for sea level ,tarmac, level runway, standard (15 degrees) no wind roll and 50'and the same for 20 degrees.from what you say things can only get better with wind on the runway so a colt would not be a problem and i see one for sale in the uk at the moment but they are not too common..
do they have an standard lycoming engine or is there anything expensive about them??
any idea of typical cruise and fuel comsumption..??
sorry for all the questions...
. hope you have the time to answer.PM me if you wish.
thanks and thanks again to all who have responded.
