Getting PPL and buying my first plane

Glad you enjoyed it. Wasn’t me who made it (else would have said ELECTRIC car) and someday we’ll find out who did and give him credit.

I copied this to the jokes section. It is really brilliant

For photography high wing are nice. The Cessna 150 with it’s 2CV Windows work very well. I remember doing a lot of this at the time. I think also the 172 has these windows.

What kind of UL were you flying in CZ? Were you using them to fly around Europe?

I started my training in the Tecnam P2002JF (the certified version of the p2002 sierra UL so its technically a ‘normal’ light aircraft ), then I transitioned to C150/C152 (took my skills test in the 152). I liked to fly the 2002, it has light responsive controls and you had to really use the rudders to stay in coordinated flight. The C152 is a slow heavy beast by comparison.
The low wing of the Tecnam doesn’t make it a great aircraft for aerial photog. If I was going to buy my own a/c for this, I’d probably get a Zenith with removable side windows.

I suggest a search for e.g.

One previous thread is here.

The legality depends on various factors.
