Points to consider

  • As a four-seat aircraft, payload must be balanced — full fuel plus four adults may be limiting depending on configuration.

  • Costs are lower than complex retractable-gear aircraft, but still involve typical four-seat maintenance and fuel planning.

  • Performance varies between the 180 HP, 215 HP and diesel models — the exact numbers depend on the specific variant.

  • Modern avionics require basic familiarization for pilots transitioning from analogue panels.
