What can you buy for around 200K that compare with a Raven's specs.
I.e. Two seater tanduim side by side. 3x axel, no tail draggers. Cruise +/- 100mph. and where do I get it?
Come on sell it to me. :wink

The only thing that comes to mind at that level of specifications is a Whisper motor glider. You can purchase the kit, engine and a few basic instruments for just on R200k.
But you will have to build it yourself. For an extra R100k there are two guys already building them for clients.
Check it out
www.whisperaircraft.com
Aircraft was designed and kits produced right here in the Eastern Cape. Since they started production about 2 years ago, they have already delivered something like 38 kits, and 4 are already completed and flying.
You are able to select either nose or tailwheel versions in addition to long or short wings.

Klink na nie 'n te slegte opsie nie, het jy dalk vir my bietjie meer specks en is dit die moeite werd om 'n 582 in te sit? Wat is ook die verskil tussin die "clipped wing " en die long wing
or something like that.
