SV was sold a week ago, and I now own a share in this little toy.
Its a lot more fun than an SV650. Cooler to own too.

oh but the fun to be had with aerobatics
Been up in a bulldog (2 seater) and a viking (glider) a few times when I was younger and there is nothing like what one pilot called the "dive bomber" which comprised of gaining altitude then nosediving a 1k feet before pulling back up to a steep climb.

Currently 17 of us in the share, max is 20. If you want to fly it you just call up and see if its free, or book a slot for weekends - midweek its generally free.
I learnt to fly in march, out in florida. Only just got round to buying into a share now, seeing as it works out cheaper than paying hourly rate to a club if you do more than 20 hours a year.
My share in that cost £1175, plus £70/month and £40/hour, then landing fees on top of that.
As for permormance, no aerobatics in this one, that would make the wings fall off. The performance is god though, with full fuel and me on board it weighs about 350 kg, and has a 80hp motor. For reference a cessna 150 weights about 3 times as much, and has a 100hp motor. I need to keep a close eye on the speedo in this to make sure I'm not getting to the point where abrupt control inputs (or small gusts of wind) will damage the aircraft. |

expensive.
are you totally bikeless now?
flying has never appealed to me. ive been ina few mini planes with a few of my dads mates and i was utterly bored. now, if it had guns and there were things to shoot at, that would be fun  |
