Used to have a Std Libelle and had to sell her. But getting back into flying and shopping for something new.

SUPPOSE all things equal, condition, avionics, rigging tools, trailer type and condition etc. AND same price. Which would you rather have? Open or Std Cirrus? I fly east coast USA and conditions are rarely STRONG.

I bought a Std Cirrus as my first glass ship back in 1980, she treated me well and I flew that ole girl for about 800 hours before moving on to an ASW20. The Cirrus is a great bird and has a roomy cockpit for us bigger types. Great ship, fun to fly but make sure you update the brakes.
