KA6E and Foka 4 comparable metal ships - Laister Nugget LP15
Dear expert soaring pilots,
What would be a nice metal equivalent of the KA6E or Foka 4?
I am asking because those ships are 40+ years old now and I am
concerned about the aging wood... Should I be concerned?
Is there any relevant metal alternative to those ships? I would also be
interested in any clues in terms of pricing.
I am a 5'6'' and 137 lbs pilot. What I love about those 2 ships (apart
of their outstanding behaviors and performances) are the narrow - low
cockpit and their light weight for soft-weak conditions flying. I am
flying out of Hope British Columbia.
Last Monday I discovered a nice sexy looking plane on Jean airport in
Nevada; metal and good aspect ratio. The only comment I have concerns
the large and high cockpit size. Other than that this ship is very sexy
and seems robust.
It is a Laister Nugget LP15. Do you know any other metal ships
comparable to the Laister Nugget?
Thanks for all information and advises you could give to the private
owner wanabee I am.
Matt
