I had a look at the Pitts S2, i'm looking for a 4 seat tourer, cheap enough to buy and maintain. Looking at the Socata TB10 aswell, really not too sure where to start! Budget of £30K for initial purchase. Everyone keeps giving me different views! Robin maybe? I dont know, had my head in the classifieds for days, just cant seem to decide.

Have a look at the Bellanca Citabria.... Cheap, able aerobatics, float, glider towing, pleasant to fly... The Citabria is a nice airplane.

Concerning the gliders, you can start with an old Blanik from eastern Europe, quite cheap and well designed.

The Robin is quite fast for this range of price, interesting if you regularly travel (to Africa for example...).

Anyway, a lot of choice.

For years and years I have want to earn a career as a Pilot, not for the money, not for the glamour but simply flying.
this is why aviation is screw up!!!

not for the money? so how do you buy food? how do you live?
when you fly 6-8 legs a day, all you want at the end is MONEY!
