That is why I pointed out the AT3 and the SkyCatcher are direct competitors and are built to similar rules. Difference is the AT3 is being used now and has full European approval. The SkyCatcher is also likely to use 20-25% more fuel. The AT3 is already undercutting the opposition as it is running on fuel which costs 50p less per L than the 152 and uses 25% less volume. Pure economics, but if you are a seat of the pants glider pilot, I would expect the AT to talk your language in a way the 152 never could.
“Standby to be informed there already is one!!!!!!!”
The 4 seat 18lph 120kn aircraft exists, but will not be available in the UK for a short while yet. I had a ride in the back of one 4 years ago and was very impressed indeed!
