Escapade - nice aeroplane
Happy Travels,
Richard W.
The Escapade is a nice machine, with a convenient wing fold. Useful in these days of expensive hangerage. It reminds me of the Piper Vagabond, but updatedI will be forced aloft soon. Son in law just bought himself an Escapade.
Not sure of the engine being used, if it's a Jabiru your gliding experience might come in handy. We have had issues with Jab engines at my base farm strip. They seem to work well in a Jabiru airframe, but can have problems when mated up to a different aircraft. My preference is for the 912 Rotax. It looks like a plumber's nightmare, but is generally very reliable.there's no challenge with those motorised thingies.
While the Luscombes look nice, I found that in my brief acquaintance they induce back ache quite quickly. The view out when flying is also akin to a pill box.I found his Luscombe pretty unsatisfying
Happy Travels,
