Plastic Fantastics - the future?
I have derided the latest crop of GRP wonder-ships with their little Rotax/Jab engines for quite a few years now.
I confess that I have been wrong! Having very recently flown two different types on a variety of missions, I have to say that I am quite taken by them - especially when you taxi up to your stash of jerry cans and pour unleaded Mogas into them at 25p a litre less than Avgas!
They don't feel the same to fly as your average C172/182/210, they don't haul the same load as my trusty Cherokee 6 but Justiciar's Pioneer is just as fast and has an impressive panel. So impressive that I remained true to my map and stop-watch as I could not initially decipher the 4"x3" glass screen!
I will never swap my Pitts for one but I will look at them in a new light and never turn my nose up again!
Your opinions?
