I love the hawker 800xp aswell , but you should try the 900 xp soooo much better . TBM700 250 kts to 2 mile final and it slows to 65kts nicely .C208 great a/c
Worst , Victa airtourer 100hp version .
Looking forward to flying our new Legacy 600 ,4hrs in a/c so far so good .
wish list , corsair .

Redders,

I used to think of you as a lady of taste and refinement until I saw the P68 listed as an aircraft you enjoyed.:eek:

Now I shall only think of you as a lady of probable taste and refinement.:}

FUN:ok:

MU2 Solitaire

METRO 226 with -10 engines in Alaska, plenty-o-power!

Cessna T210

NO FUN:yuk:

CE441, Fast but real junk compared to the King Air 200

CE421, Too many moving parts, performance under whelming.

Loves, Twin Otter;), Falcon 2000 EASy:E, Sikorsky 76:ok:

Likes, Hawker 800 XP (Hawkersaurus-- but still a Gentleman Jet - Gentlefrau for you snails):}

Tolerates, 737NG:hmm:

Hates, BN2 Islander:mad:,Robinson 22:{:yuk:

Love: King Air :ok::ok:

Enjoy: C402/404, Baron, PA31, C210 and to a slightly lesser extent the Aztruck

Didn't mind the Partial Aviatior

Won't be upset if I never fly another Seneca again..... especially on one engine at 35 degrees and with a reasonable load :eek: (reasonable for a Seneca that is)

Suffered: C207, GA8, PA38 and a few crappy 172's :ouch:

Want to fly: Cessna 195 and MU2 .... sadly I don't think i'll ever get the chance.

Love/Interesting

:)
Pilatus PC9/A

Bushby Mustang II

:(
Cessna 172
Cherokee 6
Shorts SC3

PLovett If I was flying the PN68B it meant I wasn't flying the C207! Did good trips in the Partmafia so I guess that's why I enjoyed it. :ok:

Hung start If it was up to me I'd get the 900 instead of the silly 750. (Same as a 800 but instead of 1500 lb of fuel it has another baggage compartment.)

Happy New Year folks!
 

Flown too many to sensibly list and have to say they all have endearing features. I am certainly lucky in that I always wanted to fly jet fighters, and was given the opportunity from an early age, so my stand out favourites are the half a dozen different military fast jets various governments have seen fit to let me blast around in. The most thrilling and exciting were those based on small mobile platforms, but the others were still huge fun and deserving of the "love" title.:ok:

In GA, the best so far have certainly been those aircraft I have had the honour of owning.:)

In amongst it all there have been several historic aircraft which hold a very special place in my heart.:)

Can't say I ever hated to fly any aircraft. Indeed, I have always considered it an honour and a privilege to fly at all. Something I picked up from my pilot father and other flying gurus was a piece of guidance which, whilst it doesn't instil hatred, does allow quite strong disrespect for bad workmen who blame their tools...:uhoh:

Redders,

Opinion restored.:ok::} The C207 sucks.:yuk:

DHC-1 Chipmuck
Pitts S2A
Pitts S2B
Sukhoi Su29 ... in increasing order of everything.

C185 - everything sweet.
C206 - "Throw it in the back lets go :) " (but check the CG first with a tail-dip).
C210 - Bush Rocket, but not a toy.
A36 Bonanza - 5% better at everything than the C210..
BE58 - the Tank that Flys :)
C 402C - great cockpit layout, everything in the right place, plenty of room.
PA31-350 - learn the systems; some designs came out of the Spastic School.
B1900D - same NACA wing airfoil sections as the Beech 18 so why add more electronics than a Lebanese drug dealer's car audio ..?

Dislikes ? Can't think of one. An aircraft is what it is. "Underpowered" is a relative term. Some things are just better than others (or won't fit in the garage).

Forgot - the 4 seat C210. Pointless - just bizarre.

Love:
744 - Well..what can I say?

Hate:
C152 - Fairly overweight instructor + Australian summer = hell

:ok:C182RG,C172RG was ok as well

F28..a pilots aircraft

B7777 300ER/200LR ...Queen of the sky

:mad:PA140 a dog

and with almost a 1000 hours on a Seneca 3..I did not think it was a bad aircraft:}

L188 Electra, lots of power, 3 man flight deck and delightful handling.

My CL 604/5 :ok:

:ok:

The FA24 is a fun hands-on airplane, nimble, sounds great, looks great, can't tell you the number of fly-by's we do for curious ATC folk. Dropping in at airports is always fun, they stop everything and come over for a look-see. Front seat windows roll down for those hot summer days :)

Also love the C210- fast and carries a load. The Helio Courier carries a load with awesome short (really short) field performance.

Don't really hate any of them, and I've flown a few, they all serve their purpose. I even enjoy squeezing into a 150/152 on a rare day.

LR35, OCTA & off RDR of course:}

As a few have said don't hate any A/C, all have their places in the aviation world & all have added to the pool of knowledge:ok:.

C150H out of EN during January 36+ deg's 2 up MTOW neg RoC at times & took 'till West gate Bridge to get to a 1000 ft! But man could you land that little toy plane on a dime!:-) A few of us at EN owned one & we charged ourselves $10 bucks an Hr inc fuel!:ok:
Off thread here but many years ago landed said C150 at a mates farm near Yark in Vic. for lunch. Did a low pass to check paddock out first looked long enough & clear. Landed & stopped in about 100 ft or less, was very hard to get the door open, why? Due VERY long grass!!! Took the rest of the day for the town folk to cut us a rwy thru the hay:}:}................experience, can't be bought!:}




Wmk2
