Hour Building Aircraft Requirements
I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find the list of aircraft that are acceptable for hour building towards UK/EASA CPL requirements...
I'm doing some hour building in the US and have been offered a REMOS G3 at a very very nice price but think I should maybe just stick to the good old warrior, as I know UK micro's etc cant be counted towards the CPL.
Any advice or direction would be very much appreciate, maybe I'm trying to squeeze a bit too much bang for my buck with this one
Safe flying to all.

A Remos G3 is what's known in the US as a "Light Sport Aircraft" or LSA.
MTOW 1340lbs which is 600kgs which is higher then the European Ultralight/Microlight which is MTOW 450kgs.
Other question is the limitations of flying a LSA for your time building.
What will this add to your experience if anything?
Does it have the equipment to fly airways, track VOR's, NDB's?
By US regulation, LSA's are slow, they'll struggle to get out of their own way.
Not only that, have a look at things like Vno and flaps extension speeds.
These things are not very popular at larger airports since they can't keep their speed up to fit in with other traffic.
Cheaper is not always better as you suggested yourself.
Ask yourself the following questions:
Do I want to doodle around the airport during calm days?
Do I want to fly long distance and visit bigger and busier airports?
