582 vs 503

Postby Dusty Crophopper » Fri Aug 07, 2015 9:40 am

I am in the market for a trike or ccm. I need some advise on the pros and cons between a 582 vs 503 powered machine ito performance, reliability, fuel burn, maintenance costs, hour limits etc. I have further seen mention of the 582 blue top being more reliable than the silver top.

I will mostly fly in the Lowveld (3000 to 6000 ft) with no or small pax only.

If you were buying a trike or ccm, what would you go for with a budget between R 50 k and R 75 k.
