Just thinking about buying another aircraft to replace G-ATTI despite saying I would never do that.
Has to be metal so can live outside at least some of the time, ideally nosewheel, on an LAA permit, reasonably inexpensive to buy, and flyable long term on a UK PPL/NPPL.
The Bolkow 208C seems to tick most of the boxes but I have never flown one. There is one on AFORS at the moment.
I have more than 1500 fixed wing flying hours logged but mainly Cessna 150/152/172 and PA 28s with a bit of taildragger time (70 odd hours) in a Vagabond and a few hours in gliders & various 3 axis microlights.
Presumably learning to fly one would not be a difficult conversion, but perhaps it is?
Any info from 208C pilots, LAA inspectors etc would be very helpful
Thanks
