I think I'll do a little write-up for the mag, once I have flown enough hours in the Cobra. As I own both types , (and not intending to sell my beloved Aquilla, known as Geel Kerneels) I may be able to deliver a fair comparison.


They both have their place.
What I love about Geel Kerneels is his forgiving nature, "no nonsense" construction, shortfield capabilities and simplicity. What I find lacking in Geel Kerneels is speed when I want it, endurance, and the ability to keep me a bit more comfortable in turbulence, on a x country. (Not that turbulence bothers me that much..


What I hope to get out of the Cobra is mainly:
1) More speed and a bigger speed range;
2) More comfort on a long x country;
3) More endurance: 45 litres usable fuel vs. 80 litres.
Both have been built in Africa, for Africa.
We'll see how it pans out once I have done a 200 mile stretch or two in the Cobra.
