QDM,
If you can arrange the lottery win for me, I'll buy the AN2. No problem at all, I promise.
I'd hoped to fly one in Russia in September, but the one based at Stupino Airfield was off on mainenance.
If I manage to get back there next year, I'd have a go with any luck. It's $220/hr if I'm remembering right (about £145), and Stupino only charges airborne time so every hour works out to about an hour and ten minutes.
Has that persuaded anyone else to come to Russia with me next year?
