Ok, so it's wing loading as much as low Vs - thanks for that. How does one find that out? Is there a maths formula?

I've no big need for short strips, or energetic air manoeuvres. I'm just looking for something that will happily sit at 100knts or thereabouts without spending a £60-odd an hour just on gas (which is being burnt simply to keep an heavy, mostly empty airframe airborne).

Rod, thanks very much for your offer. I've seen a few MCRs in ads and I'm intrigued.

A & C, as I understand it the Pipersport is a newer version of the Czechsport, and the overly sensitive pitch control was supposedly corrected in the transition. What's 'PIO'?
