Got to input on this -look at my handle!! Share since '94 and about 500 Robin hours.
AF -Try a 180 -full fuel, four adults and 60kgs of luggage, 130kt cruise. But at MTOW, this puts you above MLW, so you must fly for about two hours -such hardship......
A&C -hiya! You know this plane....BTW, my uncle had the inspection done on his DR400 at Dijon for about £1500.
CSX001 -iffey on strips! Cobblers. This plane is SUCH fun. How about the 400m strip of Binstead, IOW -two adults, 2 children, half fuel, no probs.......the difficult bit is believing how SLOW it will go on the approach and u still have full control........great for crosswinds too with a 22kt demonstrated, that's why the wing tips are turned up ;-)
Until FM Immune came in, used it for loads of IMC -I don't fly it, just think it around the sky..In still air (it loves 5-8000') one can fly for miles by just nudging the rudder occassionally and a tweak on the trim.
The ONLY drawback -with all that perspex, it can get MIGHTY hot inside. Flew into Barcelona Sabadel when the OAT was +44C. Goodness knows what the inside temp was!!
