Even the current Continental Katana's are VFR only. I heard somewhere is has to do with how the composite structure would dissipate lightning if struck. I think they added some metal in the structure to address this on the Star. Sorry, I don't remember when the night legal change came out. I don't think it would be hard to find someone who would take a Tecnam IFR. I would take ours into the scud if it was an IFR version. It's every bit as stable as my C172 only I don't have to worry about carb ice in the clouds like I do with my 172. Is the Tecnam all aluminum? I'd be worried about a composite airplane taking a lightning hit if it doesn't have the embedded metal mesh, etc. Matt |
