T'ain't easy is it?

The last C-177 I had a go at was in 1969 or thereabouts, there were 2 of them in WA, DZA & DZB, and they 'had limitations'. And yes I know there is a RG model with some improvements, but same problem i.e. vintage and technology...

I'm open to all suggestions.

But now you do begin to see the challenges put to a guy who wants to get a 'modern' 'suitable' CPL trainer which can double as a club rental aircraft for 'general use', and possibly the odd charter...

And this is probably why we still fly 30 - 40 year old aeroplanes.....

Don't blame us, and yes, I'm still searching....

Cheers ....
