Me, I wouldnt even bother looking at a Cobra. Besides looking kak, its heavy, slow, and makes the pilot think that he's got a lot longer penis than he really has.

I do not have that many hours but have flown a few hours on both types, both reasonably new.

For Comfort, I am 6'2 definitely the Aquilla. But I prefer the way the Cobra flies, and I believe is stronger. My 2c worth. A subject like this you will get a different answer from each person. It is a choice only you can make. Fly both then take it from there.

My experience of longer trips is not on Trkes but quads, and mine is more powerful than most and I have a long range tank. But these are hobbies we like to do with friends, so you will only be as fast as the slowest in the group and you can only fly as far as the one with the shortest endurance. Is it worth carrying an extra 30l of fuel if you have to stop anyway?

2nd option is to be really selective who you fly with or do it alone?

I know what you mean, I just love finding out peoples opinions.
I am going to get Louis to find a Cobra in CT and then see which I prefer.
Leftseat; I know what you mean, I just LOVE to find out info and sometimes I just can't help it!!!! vhpy (Sorry! :oops: )
I actually have met Ricky!! I'm homeschooled and my tutor read Freedom Flight and then discovered her husband went to gym with ricky. So she called him and he came and spent about 3 hours with me chatting about Alan and all his experiances! It was absulotley great to meet someone that has so much experiance!
More input please!!!
