Think about Skyhawk vs. Cardinal and you have the difference. Both are
good planes. The wing shapes are a bit different and the Bravo is strutless. The wing shape makes the Echo an easier trainer but the Bravo faster. The Bravo easily dose the legal limit of 120kts. The Echo has more headroom since it doesn't have a large wing spar running through the roof like the Bravo. The Bravo starts at $99,900 US delivered. A reasonable VFR instrument package would put you at about $110K. The engine upgrade required for IMC is about $9K. Either engine you can file IFR with on this plane. However the 912S is required for flight into IMC. Helen Matt Whiting wrote: Helen wrote: If you are a Cessna pilot, you'll LOVE the Tecnam line of IFR available LSAs. We have an Echo on the line. It is super stable, super roomy, and has a super useful load. We have a 6'9" 310lb student taking lessons in it with a 200lb instructor! It has the stability you need for IFR, and useful load you need for long range tanks if you are going to fly hard IFR. Best of all, you won't sacrifice roominess. It's every bit as comfy as a 172. The IFR certified Rotax 912S burns about 4 gph, mo gas preferred. Available glass or traditional. The new 2008 panel is superb, available glass or traditional, and complete with cup holder. It wasn't obvious from a quick perusal as to what the key differences are between the Super Echo and the Bravo. Is there a comparison table somewhere on the Tecnam web site that I simply didn't find? Any idea as to the price target of the P2006T? Matt |
