Question on aircraft for hours building
Hi Guys
I have a couple of questions. Im thinking about buying a cheap small single/double seater in order to do some hour building towards an fATPL and just for recreational flying. Something along the lines of an Evans VP1 or a Streak Shadow. Something like a Kitfox would be fantastic but outside the range of cash im looking to spend.
The main consideration im looking at is cost of maintenance, and running p/h. If anyone could recommend some planes to look into that would be great. If you have a rough idea of costs that would also be fantastic.
Im aware that you're unable to use a microlight for hours building, but im not too sure about the types of planes qualified as a microlights, especially the new 3-axis microlights like the Jaribu's. Presumably hours building on one of these is still out. Im aware of the regulations on weight, but ive also heard of other regulations on wing area, stall speed etc. I was wondering if anyone could clarify some of these points.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers
