What was a Victa 115 Airtourer worth brand new?
£3,950 according to the Victa Aviation News Bulletin that I have. No date on it but it includes a photo of the first production Airtourer 100 before it got VH painted on it. Same price is quoted in the 8 April 1965 edition of Flight International magazine which had a comprehensive report on the A/T 100.
While going through my file I was reminded of the CT4C with a turboprop. Very nice. I recall seeing 2,000 ft/min right up to 10,000 ft. We weren't pulling much more power than the current production one with a 300 hp Lycoming. Rudder was a bit small to handle all the power available at low speed. (I've always said that the rudder on the Airtourer is too small)
