Beautiful high performance aircraft.
VH -XXX Pipistrel Short wing A$160,000 equipped and ready to fly or about 113,000 as a kit.
Having looked at the website of one builder, I think its a complicated kit and it also involves epoxy which I do not want to risk using again since epoxy allergy can catch up with you, and I'm already overdue for that from boat work.
I also do not feel happy about modifying Mr. Rotax's engine to make it fit.
To put it another way, I think there is too much to go wrong. I'm also not convinced about longevity and I note that Zenith CH701 are extremely rugged.
