BULLDOG Info required please.
Hello,
I'm trying to put together a case for my employer purchasing a Bulldog to use as a cadet hour builder, IMC trainer, general hack and engineer runaround. I have looked at our needs and feel that a Bulldog would tick most if not all of our requirements, if a little thirsty in the cruise.
Could I ask you kind folks to fill in the blanks please?
1. With two up and somewhere near full fuel, what payload would she be able to lift? Toolbox and spares? What size the rear 'baggage' area?
2. Is the Bulldog a realistic proposition for medium distance IFR flights? Say Scotland to Wales? (I know there is no anti ice kit)
3. What is the fuel burn per hour in economic cruise?
4. Is it a particularly maintenance heavy aircraft? Many AD's etc?
I have tried to research some of the above but only seem to get 'top trump' type answers. The real stuff would be helpful.
Finally are there any on the market at the moment, cant see any in the usual sales columns...
Any comments would be most welcome.
Thanks.
CRX.
