Ro graduated to drive ‘Cayman 6’ by himself.

With Ro moving out soon, and our standard trip being 600NM nonstop to Colorado, I now no longer require four seats. So instead of operating the Bonanzas at around $240/hr wet, I can now downsize to an experiemental 2-seat aircraft.

The short list of planes I’m looking at:

• Long EZ – most fuel efficient solution, issue: not much baggage – $45-60k
• Lancair 360 – need long range header tank – issue: insurance & accident rate – $120-150k
• Vans RV-6 (38gal is too tight for nonstop) – well supported, easy to work on – $60-100k
