Hi Rob,
If I recall your earlier email... you're hoping to find the fastest LSA you
can?
What other kind of requirements or limits do you have?
If you're interested in experimental, a Titan Tornado II-S or a Sonex might
fit the mission. They aren't as refined, quiet or comfortable as an Allegro
and maybe need more runway, but as I understand it they are somewhat faster.
I guess it all depends on how long of trips you are looking at.
For me, 90% of my flights are within a 200 mile radius. At that distance
the speed differences aren't significant in trip time. But if you're
planning frequent trips of, say, 500 miles or more then the speed becomes
much more of a factor.
My bottom-line suggestion is to be realistic about the flying you'll do. If
most of your travel will be under 300 miles or so then don't worry too much
about speed. The comfort, enjoyment, flying qualities, range and payload of
the plane will mean a lot more to you than a few minutes difference in how
long it takes to get there.
I'd certainly be happy to offer any personal opinions and sharing of
experience as you go through making this decision. (my previous planes
include a 65 mph Fisher Classic biplane and a 180 mph Mooney, plus several
others in-between, so I'm happy to share my personal observations regarding
speed vs. cost vs. flying qualities, etc).
For me, the Allegro is a great fit. It is my 6th airplane and is by far the
one I've owned the longest. (with no intention of selling anytime soon).
Every plane is a compromise. This one is what works best for my needs.
Best of luck!
