Yeah, I was looking at that. What a cool aeroplane to be able to fly. 220 litres an hour though, what a gas guzzler!

Need to get rid of that training wheel and put a little one at the back, then move it down to the south island then I might be keen ! Ive seen it up close a few times in nelson and man its got a massive engine puts the Huosai and M-14P to shame that'll be why it drinks like a fish

When I first read that when it was first advertised a while ago, I read the rates as $110 per hour (i.e. including fuel), and was thinking what on earth am I doing flying a 172?

Holy rubbish thats alot of gas per hour

How much is avgas per litre these days?

I think it's 2 dollars + something Joe.

There's a lot of interesting aircraft on trademe at he moment actually - the ZK-MAD Pitts share, the T28 trojan, various ultralights (as always), an $80,000 Piper Aztec (I'll take it! ), a really cool taildragger microlight (search cygnet) and 2 Tecnams. There was a luscombe not long ago as well I think.

Give ya an idea - the Grunt of this little Trainer , it can get to 10,000 ft quicker than a P51 mustang , what a ride !

1425hp doesnt come for free..... it works out around 6 litres per hour/per hp, a 172 is around 4 litres per hour/hp.... so not too bad.......
