Sebart or Pilot for 85 or 100kg turbine
I am trying to compare the Sebart Avanti XS and the Pilot 1.8m Predator for use with a 85kg or a 100kg turbine. Our field is a grass strip. Can anyone offer comparison comments? How do the factory electric landing gear hold up on grass runways? Is there much of a flight performance difference for 85kg vs. 100kg turbines? As this will be my first turning jet....any other things I should consider?

I can only tell about the predator 1.8m. Build well and electric gear is quite strong. I fly from a grass field and retracts can hold pretty well. Wheels are small so the grass cant be to long. Main wheels have 65mm diameter and nose wheel has 55m. About the flying part, it flies great and stable. Works pretty well with the 85 engine.

never a bad word about any avanti airframe flying stats.. but the predator may save you a few bucks bought turbine ready. i have the 2.2 predator and it for sure is built well now awaiting a maiden.
