Thanks 'tecy' I am aware of the power V the weight of these 'toy' panes
I just wanted to know what they where like say compared to the C150, the steed a lot of us oldies started out on when the Tecnam was just an idea in someones head:-)
Sometimes you see a seriously bent C150 & the driver/s got out albeit damaged themselves probably due a fair size 'crumple zone' where it all folds up around you but these 'toy' planes often yield very sad results, that's just a general observation & may not have any direct bearing on the subject matter here.
I wouldn't mind trying or having a go at something like the Tecnam before I drop off the perch but being quite a lot older than when I started I am far more reserved these days & rarely fly a SE of any denomination:-) reading the incidents like this one makes me think twice.
