Afternoon All,
I'm looking for a wing fold light aircraft with good strip capability and have seen this:
https://afors.com/aircraftView/53969/Av ... stol-wings
Has anyone got any experience of these types and any "top tips" for an inspection? Is this a reasonable price (looks a little steep to me - 1993 build - I've seen more recent types go for £10k ish). Also, it has very few hours, approx 315 for a 28 year old aircraft seems odd, the Jab has circa 220 hours so was presumably fitted to replace a 582 at some point.
I have some C42 experience so well aware of the lack of inertia issues with these types of aircraft and appreciate that if the donk stops you have to manage energy very carefully. Apart from that I know very little and even less about ownership.
Any insights or intel much appreciated. Thanks
Neil
