I checked about shipping on 2 months ago and was quoted a price of 2000€ from Bremerhaven to Charleston. K8s are fun to fly, but very dispiriting if you have any headwind at all. If you have USD10-20k to spend, and want to do any more than soar locally around your home airfield, then glass is the only way to go IMHO. I've had fun flying a K6, in which you can do good XC flying, but this also becomes too tiring for a new XC pilot - serious XC in a K6 is for the more experienced pilot. Chris I wasn't advocating the K-8 as much as giving it as an alternative to the 1-26, same performance for less money. I agree totally about glass! An Astir, Cirrus, ASW15... The list is endless and all can be had for 10-20$ with sutable (not perfect but usable) trailer. Bob (Who's first plane purchase is a part of a Nimbus 3DT) |
