Also looks pretty expensive? ;) .. one here for EUR 127k. (JMB VL-3 Evolution Aircraft for sale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_S Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 AU$200,000 for a 4 year old model. I wonder what a new one would cost.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDQDI Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Not a lot of useful load for fat people like me. But would still suffice if used as a single seater! Taking the 165knots with a grain of salt I would be happy if it could cruise at 140-150. I wonder what it’s rough air cruise is though? It would suck if that was still around 100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 180kg between empty and MTOW ... two mythical 86kg people and you have 8kg for fuel and the toothbrush ... and thats without adding anything for actual build weight gains or age related water gains in composites Not practical in any way shape or form as a two seater. As a singe seater its probably comfy and fast ... but eye wateringly expensive 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
