Seth Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Did anyone else take a look at the Tarragon Carbon Fiber kit aircraft while at Oshkosh? I read about it in one of the magazines and was actually pretty impressed by it. I read about it in either EAA magazine or Flying this year (or maybe aviation consumer but I doubt it) so I decided to check it out at the show. I'd like to fly one of these and an RV-8 at some point. It's different and is retract which I like. http://www.tarragonaircraft.com/en/overview/ http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=main.textpost&id=dbc9ea8e-e8cc-46af-9715-e2ffa5efc71a What are your thoughts? -Seth Edited July 27, 2018 by Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danb Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 I did Seth, my wife thought it was cool, but wondered why she couldn’t sit next to me, a hell of a lot of performance from a Rotax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Any options for an IO550? The tough part I see is planning decades in advance... Making sure all the parts are still available to the day you complete the project... and then some... Once you have IO550 experience, it is going to be a challenge to cut down on your habit... PP thoughts only, not trying to imply any negativity... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetdriven Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Fantastic looking airplane. I think I could use a little bit more horsepower. But fast and super economical and if looks could kill I would be long dead. Disturbing as they have only built three of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko182 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Stick a 915 in there and you should be able to get 190 knots at altitude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted July 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 They were talking about putting a lycoming or continental in there last year as another option in addition to the Rotax. Not sure where that went, but I'm curious what was decided. So 160/180/200 HP? You've got a little hot rod! Anyone else hear any updates on this? I did find an old email and reached back out. -Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblestrip Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 You can always go with one of the Aeromomentum choices since it's experimental. They have a 260hp option for just under 20 AMU's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetdriven Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 It came from that. There is also another plane that came from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
