Having flown a Rotax falke last week I think that LJ is correct - it would make an excellent Cadet training Machine. If you trebled the order it could replace the Tutors at the AEF for a fraction of the price. (It's non-aerobatic of course..........)

It would not be suitable for the Winch schools of course...............which are now in the majority by far - on paper anyway (amazing turn-around on that position from 5 years ago when the Vigi school numbers were in the ascendancy).

We'd have to come to terms with a retrograde step of returning to the Fabric covered aeroplanes !!

LJ - we could just drop the Venture bit and call it the Cadet Mk3

Arc

(Never going to happen of course - pipe dream..........)
