Well, they're all variations on a theme, aren't they? All beautiful and
goers, too.

Someone is making a nice small engined aircraft similar to the SF airplanes
in Italy. I can't remember the name off the top of my head. They're kits,
and expensive, but if they go as well as they look, probably worth it.

SF-260 (PIC flys from the right seat)


No, it's not a Frati, I'll have a look a bit later and see ifI can
find it. The sf 260 definitely isn't a kit plane anyhow!

It is a good looking plane...

OTOH, 200 hp gets you 190 kts maximum... A Mooney 201 does that - and
has 4 seats!
The wing aspect ratio is 6.4... Notice they do not mention the glide
ratio...Lose the airscrew out front and you are truly screwed...
Nor do they list a stall speed... A telling number is the ratio
between stall speed and maximum speed... Taint there...

Sorry guys, it is not step forward in performance...

Sure is good looking, though...
