NT5224 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 How does the Lyco-powered Brumby fly? Just curious, I like Brumbys but heard stories about the electronics on the Lycomings... Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevron Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 The OME ignition system leaves a little to be desired. I changed mine to light speed plus a slick mag. Stable flight characteristics, slower than advertised cruise. Good fuel use age and brilliant endurance. Comfortable cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poteroo Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 You'll have to shift to GA to get what you want. There are a couple of PA-28-235 aircraft on market at around $85-95,000. They will haul 4 people + 4 hrs fuel @ 125-130 kts but you'll burn 36-40LPH....ouch. If you want to go high wing, then a C182 fits your requirements but the pre-1985 models are Continental powered and good for about the same costs as the 235 Piper but burn more like 45-48LPH. The Lycoming models started in 1998 and are priced above $160-180,000 at the low end. The 'gap in GA aircraft performance from the 110kts of fixed pitch C172 or PA-28-180 up to the CSU equipped PA-28-235 or C182 is the usual sticking point. It's a big jump in cost of operation for arguably no better fuel efficiency, but loads are better. happy days, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
