My first share was a TB9, parts were a nightmare to get at a sensible price and known a few TB10s but thus is the hassle of group ownership, if it had been solo then perhaps I'd have been less bothered.
Looks lovely by the way, I love the TB20 comfy, spacious, fast

There's reciprocals now with many local EU countries for LAA, certainly France and Ireland which meets the mission.
Yes, he actually gets that, he has a a fairly coarse pitch prop on a 160 Lycoming and that's IAS at 2000ft on a 20C day in normal UK conditions, it takes another 40yds to get off the ground but has to keep it at around 2100 RPM to keep it under Vne take off is still very short. a VP prop might be better suited but more expensive to run. It's a very capable machine which is in my opinion what makes this an ideal fit for the OPs requirements.
