Yes indeed the CT/4 would be very nice but PAC have built a couple with glass screens and a 300 hp engine for the Singaporeans. That should work! Indeed mine has the floppy dipstick and it always seems to give refuellers the giggles. Anyway it's much more accurate than the gauge, which is even worse than those on Pipers/Cessnas and so on. Apparently the Royal Aero Club never paid up on the competition prize which rather upset Henry Millicer. I'm always hopeful that I can park next to a Provost at a Fly-in as the Airtourer looks like a 3/4 scale version apart from the tricycle undercarriage. Apparently the RAF wanted the Airtourer to replace the Chipmunk but AESL wouldn't replace the central column with joysticks and so the Bulldog was bought instead. Latterly they did replace it and sold a bunch back to the Australians which was slightly ironic.
