I wanna buy an aerobatic airplane
Hi guys,
my thread is very simple:
I`ve been looking around the web to find an aerobatic airplane to purchase,together with some friends to share the costs;
I`m starting from scratch tho,and have no clue about costs,maintenance,regulations etc.
Can anyone gime some hint,ideas,help and so on?
On the market (especially UK)I`ve found lots of pitts,I`m interested only in the two seater (be it the S2 version) and I`ve seen a few cheap ones (starting from 30k euros).
One other is the italian made pioneer 300 or 330 acro,but it`s an unltralight.
Can anyone tell me why the pitts are so "cheap" (most I`ve seen have been built around 1985 + o - ),and what would be the difference in flying aerobatics on a pitts (i.e. conventional airplane) or on a pioneer 330 (which is ultralight) ?
Does the airframe have any "expiry"?how about the engine overhaul?maintenance and taxes?
Hope anyone can help,even via pm,I`m just looking around now,but i`d really love to buy one in the near future
ps:I`m not interested in talking about airport taxes,hangarage and so on,yet (it`s things i can find out myself....) .
thanks to all.
