Any of you guys pilots out there, if so you'll feel my pain on this one.....



The Plane or a Track car? They're both be around the same price, honestly.

Uhmmmmm.... since I don't know how to fly a plane..... well, you know my answer.

Very interesting dilemma though. Good luck with your decision.

 

Plane, you'll get your $$ back on that one.

 

Both... the plane plus a 944 SP2 track car will only be $6k more than just the plane.

 

Or, to look at it another way, you can always drive your street 996 on the track... but you can't fly it.

 

That looks a bit like a BAC (Hunting Percival) Jet Provost T5 (unless of course it is a BAC Strikemaster - in which case buy it!). Not a lot like that in the air anymore.

Maintenance will be like a 944

 

a jet trainer.... or a track car

how fast will the jet so down the front straight and into turn 2 ?

that thing looks like it would understeer a hella bunch !

 

Enough flight hours and experience to buy the insurance...??

 

I'm thinking maintenance and storage on the jet will be $$$$$ more than maintenance $$$ on a track car.

 

Yeah more than enough Jet hours for this baby, I flew this type in 1986-88, should be easy enough to get my rating back, maybe 7 hrs

I take my street car to the track each time, pimped out with NT01's now and spare set of wheels, trying to resist going the full roll cage etc.

For those who want to know, the plane is only $60K ready to fly. I got the wife to sign off today providing I put a new closet in the house for her. That was easy...

 

Yep JP T5, sweet plane to fly, 400+ mph in cruise, this one has working ejector seats and full oxygen system so it's a 30,000ft cruiser, 900 mile range, I need that just to get out of Texas if flying to the west.

 

Does it have and IMS or RMS?

 

My 2003 targa had catastophic failure around 4 months ago, I forked out for a new engine, just paid it off. No Idea what the final cause was, porsche just shipped a new engine and bingo 2 days later it was in and ready to go, plug and play, back on the track that weekend.

I don't want to start the IMS questions, you know what will happen to this thread if the IMS junkits get in on it. ;-)

 

Better it has an Armstrong Siddeley Viper Mk-202 turbojet and Jake Raby can't fix it for sure

RAF?

 

yep, sure was
