The real keyword is "trailerable" because hangar space is very rare over here. How about the Glasair Sportsman 2+2? http://www.glasairaviation.com/kitcontentsportsman.html The specifications page lists "with wings folded/tail removed". -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ As convenient as it is for information to come to us, libraries do have a valuable side effect: they force all of the smart people to come together in one place where they can interact with one another. -- Neal Stephenson |

And that "cavernous luggage area" is exactly what I want, especially if it allows weight as well as volume. Two objections though: -) the spec & performance lists 180 HP as a minimum -) the kit seems prohibitively expensive, that kind of money will buy me a very nice 2nd hand. 50 grand, add an engine to that and a prop and instruments and avionics, and last but not least transatlantic shipping, way beyond budget! |
