So maybe Shawn can tell us how both of these compare to the
1-35? Personally, I was at a BASA meeting where they considered
getting rid of their 1-34 instead of a Pegasus, and the
members instead put $5K or so into the 1-34, because it had
such low maintenance compared to the 101A's and Grob 103s
that they just couldn't see parting with it. 100s of dollars
a year instead of 1000s.
For what it's work, the rivet work on BASA's 1-34 came in way under
budget. I think we paid about $3k for it, all told.
Now if only we could get a tailweheel that isn't so easy to shread on it.
