Re: Pipistrel Panthera
I ruled out the Tecnam twin based on its poor safety record. Too many dead people after a few crash/burn accidents. Otherwise it would have been great.

Re: Pipistrel Panthera
Alexander allow me a bit of teasing: Dont care about speed but do care about retractable? :D This is the aviation equivalent of platonic love! Very true :) But a real airplane is retractable :) it just looks right that way I don't mind speed, but it is not important. I will trade some of it for the...

Re: Pipistrel Panthera
Not resisting, that's not correct. Let's see, for me the selling points (purely those that matter to me): 1. Great looking airplane, ok - it is officially sexy! 2. retractable gear 3. clean, efficient design 4. "probably" hand-flies nicely 5. Hope the visibility is as good as the Diamond T...

Re: Pipistrel Panthera

Re: Pipistrel Panthera
I will play a bit of a devil's advocate here for a minute. So what does it bring to the table over the DA40? 1. proven safety record? 2. better flying envelope (i.e. aerobatic capabilities, or better slow flight, stall etc)? 3. Better IFR platform? FIKI, system redundancy etc? 4. is it half the cost...

Re: Not mine - Chelyabinsk to Novaya Zemlya in a DA20
Moonshine, thanks a bunch! I also read through the rest of the forum. I was not aware of it, a lot of good stuff in there. Though the guys certainly have a different perspective on things. Refreshing, in a way

Охренеть, нифига себе
Not too shabby, the guy certainly has the balls. An engine out in many of those places means you're done. Landing over there at Novaja Zemlja certainly tops it.
Great pictures though, great trip. Hat's off.
