Lucky escape for the pilot. The craft looks so flimsy all broken into pieces. I wonder how much these light aircraft costs. |

I get the feeling that they're not too cheap to buy & run - definitely not a pauper's hobby! |

You'll get a reasonable one for less than 40K. But then you need to delve into the sheet 700s to see how it's been maintained. It can be a real money pit for the unwary, which is why most sales are to groups who then share the costs. When I was an apprentice we had a Percival Provost, but after being used by apprentices for so long couldn't get insurance. Shame really, as it wasn't too bad an aircraft. |
