I owned an older certified aircraft. I liked it but was frustrated with fixing it (and paying someone else to do it!) ADS-B coming... etc.
I've been twisting knobs since learning to fly some time ago and decided that since I have a more modern truck I might as well have a more modern aircraft. so, what to get,
1) Fixed gear.
2) FADEC
3) Roomy
4) Easy to get in/out of the cockpit.
5) Economical to operate.
6) Modern avionics.
7) Simplicity of construction.
Talked to a lot of builders (thank you for your experience and knowledge!)
Decided on the Sling 4 Tsi quickbuild. 50% deposit made June 2109
