IFR tourning during the week, competition aero's at the weekend?

I think I have just found the ideal aeroplane! Go anywhere IFR at 200 kts(when approved) and then carry out some aero's on approach!! You could probably fly through a thunderstorm and not break it too

If I won the lottery I'd have a hard time choosing between that and a Spitfire, unless it's a roll-over of course, in which case I could have both!

I would think that if you won the lottery you would buy one of the military turboprop trainers; some of them are close in performance to an early model Spitfire, but you get a properly engineered plane which doesn't need 50 man hours of workshop time after every flight

This E300 is just the poor man's version
