Hi Guys,

Almost all European Rebels come out at this weight with 0-235 engines.
Everybody uses the Sensenich props (which are heavy) except the poor
German and Swiss guys who have Draconian noise regulations.
All our aircraft are heavily corrosion proofed...they have to be! Every
panel is chromated and the assembly is wet, with rivets dipped.
Most people now finish the paint job with a laquer, and most interiors
are carpeted...I guess it adds up. But the performance of this wonderful
aircraft speaks for itself.

Ohh...most panels here are very complete, as most of the time we are
cruising around in fog, low cloud and grot! It ain't Florida.

Hi Brian

thanks for the update! I did not think about the corrosion proofing. When
you factor that in with the metal prop and full instrument panels it makes
sense.

Really glad you are enjoying your aircrafts so much. Us builders need this
kind of encouragement.

My very best regards!

floats ,just to get an idea of some real world numbers.THANKS
