Hey ho!
I'm removing some dust from this old thread of mine...
Initially I focused on Zlin 142/242, but although very capable for aerobatics, they are not so nice for touring, due to the limited cargo allowance. I was on the point to buy one in Eastern Europe, but the seller demonstrated not to be reliable (and I think I was pretty lucky to discover this at the right time).
Later, after many searches, visits and discussions, I have come to conclusion that the ideal machine for my purposes would be an SA Bulldog or, in alternative an FFA AS202-18 Bravo.
Both are capable of decent aerobatics, both can carry a third passenger, both have a lot of luggage room. The Bulldog has some advantage as it can be a good IMC machine as well, as is pretty fascinating...
Now I am on the hunt to find one of these machines in good conditions... any suggestion appreciated!
