Sweet jesus !! Never even heard of half that lot ! Just looking at whats avaliable at the moment as will be looking to purchase in the next 4-6 weeks once the hangerage is in place. Doesnt seem a huge choice of aero types in the sub £20k range via Pilotweb and AFORS just now though.

Main criteria will be something easy and cheap to maintain and run, happy to do engine services etc myself so Permit A/C ideal.
Quite happy with a tailwheel as have 50 or so hours on those, aeros will indeed be LAROSA to start with as I'll have to get my hand back in. Last thing I did regular aero's in weighed 3.5 tonne and had entry speeds to some manouvers in excess of 300kts so will be taking it easy for starters!

Aero capability with 2 on board would be a bonus but not essential, something with a decent turn of speed would also be a real bonus though 100mph cruise upwards is fine.

Quite like the Pitts idea as always fancied one of those, will keep scouring the ads....
