BANG FOR THE BUCK

Postby alanmack » Sat May 31, 2014 9:51 pm

The next Microflight Africa magazine is in production and should be ready for posting next month. One of the stories is about "Value for Money" or "Bang for the Buck."

You get to play a part. Please respond here and give us suggestions for the list >>> Please only give the name of the plane >>> do not give reasons why you think that it is the best Bang for the Buck.

We will collect names for a few days then we will add a poll and you can vote....

Then please e-mail your reasons to nemo@webo.co.za

In the mag I will list the reasons and the ranking of the suggested planes.

OK - SO FOR NOW PLEASE ADD YOUR SUGGESTED entries for BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!

Any plane that is new. Weight Shift, CCM, LSA, Gyro, Hang Glider, Model Aircraft all open for you to select from - just must be NEW

I couldnt agree more, in the weight shift class definitely the Aquilla especially for passenger comfort and the docile handling.
