All a matter of what's affordable in the budget 7252 and Nightmare, I appreciate your thoughts. Cheers

LSA 55 dimensions Length 5.030 J 160 L 5.775 Height 1.975 H 2.300 Width 8.026 W 8.120

Thanks for those comments and the pdf to look at, very helpful. Given the dimensions are bigger on the J 160 it would have the larger wing area and therefore more lift with more t o weight. The LSA I have been using is very good on fuel, approx. the 12-13 you quoted. Given the MTOW is higher on the J160 they should carry two adults easier, I have had to watch the fuel amount on board when taking another fully grown adult as I term it. I keep looking at the adverts for the J 160's as they are becoming more affordable with some low hour ones coming available at times. Thanks again.

G'day, I am looking for some feedback as to the wing area of the LSA 55 Jabiru? I cannot find the figures, websites only show wing area of the J160 C and D models being 86.6 sq ft. I understand the J 160 models are vastly improved on the LSA model which I have done some hours in. I have not flown a J 160 model to date but understand they carry two people with more ease and generally easier to fly. Looking forward to your comments. Cheers, Mark

Thanks 80 kt, where is your location?

A very tidy looking aircraft indeed.

Yeah, I rang up about that one and the bloke said it sold very quickly, I got the name of the new owner and he lives about 1 1/4 hours flying time to the north of us so it's interesting how things work out. Would have been a very good purchase. I'll wait to see what comes onto the market.

I agree Alf, a very good looking aircraft that Tecnam have made there, I had a fly in a P 92 earlier in the year but I am still more impressed with the P2002 model. One day anyway, I'll keep dreaming at this point in time Mark

Alf, can you share your thoughts on the P2002 model, positives and negatives. Is yours a JF model? I'm looking to try and purchase one some time in the future. Cheers Mark

Alf, how many hours do you have on your Tecnam these days if you still own it, it's been a few years since I have done much on this site Regards, Mark

G'day, can people tell me their thoughts positive and negative on the Tecnam P2002 model, I've been very keen on this model for some time now and have done my last few bfr's in this model. I find it a very easy to fly, easy to land aircraft. P2002 owners please share your thoughts.

Good play on words with the name. Regards, Mark

Good evening Ron, it has been a long while since I have caught up with you, sounds like the VP1 is a great plane to fly. I'm assuming you remeber who I am. Mark Edwards Darke Peak and yep still flying around in Terry's Jabiru, nearly a 1000 hours on it now and going well. Bye for now. Mark
