Dream plane with a caveat

[SLIPANDSKID]

I've investigated the Babcock firefly and it seems like a very good option. All the engines close to overhaul but if you buy the 260 and take the engine straight to overhaul I reckon you would part with about 50k sterling.

Thats the nice thing about the Yak 52 TD it has 600 nm range and +7-5g. With room for an overnight bag. Admittedly not in "touring" comfort.

What do people think of the CAP 10?? It seems like a good all rounder but can it fly more advanced aero's?

I also thought of the Marchetti 260 any nice examples going around 150k?

I currently fly the AN2 so am partial to a little radial character, hence my desire for the Yak ( if only is was certified!!)

Thanks for the posts
