Tecnams answer to Cessna

[Admin]

here are some images that Bruce Stark was kind enough to send me of Tecnam's answer to the Cessna Skycatcher - this is a very nice looking aircraft:

Looks like a Tecnam Bravo - P2004 - with remodelled windows and a main wing strut

 

I guess the smaller Cessnas have wing struts so Tecnam might as well have 'em too

 

I wonder what the diffrences and design philosphy are between the Bravo and this new model ?

Cost?

Cost ?

 

Guessing ........................

 

1.3 Sportastars

 

2.2 Jabirus

 

3.7 new Commodores

 

16.5 x 2001 Ford AU's

 

............... Plus wing struts

I'd say AUD$130k + Delivery from OS + extras.

I would even say a bit more than that... but what a beautiful aeroplane. Can't wait to see it in Aus. Bruce tells me he gets to get his hands on one soon!

Phew! Thank heavens I went with the 2002 AUIII Falcon! (And am still driving it!)

 

I think Bruce has one of these aircraft ready to put together at Redcliffe - will be nice to see it when it is in flying condition soon.

Dare I say it - I think this is a "mid-life update" like the car manufacturers do. I'm a big fan of the Tecnams and I suspect that this is really taking what they already have and offering it as a marketing gambit to front up to the Skycatcher.

 

Still what they already have flies well enough and has nice characteristics.
