77 model
this is the new toy im working towards at the moment,
147Kts IAS cruise, 135kts turb pen speed, 100Hp, 15L/per hour. 7.5 hrs endurance,1000nm range. VH rego, IFR equipped. on board oxy supply, service ceiling of 23,000ft.
new hotness...
why would people even consider an old 77 model, burning 45 ltr or more an hour for similar speeds, but half the range.
similar convo was had in the hangar with the turbine bonanza conversion
why bother with an old ship like that, when a nice RV will do the job at a fraction of the cost.. even a Cirrus!
Its time for the old dinosaurs and the old boys to get with the times and fly something modern.

atually, the pipistrel with certified engine, TSO garmin glass, at current exchange rate of $1.45Au to the Euro, about $170K. base model, about 140K.
how much was that Mooney new?
and why is a new 182 the same aircraft designed in the 70's??
dont mind me, just cant understand why a 2010 C182 still has a carby, and is hard to start on a cold winters wet morning.. and burns 45Ltrs/hour to cruise at 130 kts.

Pipistrel = 2 seats and little else.
Old Mooney = 4 seats and cheap to buy... running costs ?
C182 = 4 seats or a heavy load carrying utility.

I hope the 'Pipistrel' designers have thought about deicing? With those sorts of performance figures (especially altitude) and IFR it is going to encourage some people to get themselves into a whole lot of trouble...

standard Pipistrel kits are not IFR, or have any anti icing,though it does have heated pitot as standard. but the avionics package i had in mind would be IFR rated, and built to meet all IFR requirements, which explains the high cost. ill have to send another email to ask about anti ice fitment. dont see how it can be done without boots or elements somewhere.
anyways, my original point for ****es and giggles..
Old technology Vs New technology
MOG an external camera ! Ohh noooooo

After removing all the pax seats i've had the ripper ram off a large bulldozer in the back of a nice flat floored C182 - Please do show me the modern equivalent...

That brings back some memories...! The video is Papua Indonesia though - not PNG.
Don't be fooled by the nice weather at the start though, in those parts of the world most of the time you would spend peering through the murk like later in the video...
