L3 Vs Ba

[bubba]

fenestron,

 

The 407 comment means nothing to me as I am a die hard eurocopter man! :up: :up: :up:

 

Cheers

 

PS. I'm still not changing my avatar, I need it for bear defence in the bush....

I'll only go back to indoor soccer if Skids Up is my goalie again

 

I greatly represent that remark..... :oops:

 

Relatively speaking, same net size, ='s more coverage.

 

Thanks 407 for the memories!

BA - 140 mph cruise

L3 - 135 mph cruise

 

BA - 5 Passengers

L3 - 6 Passengers

 

BA - 4630 lbs Internal, 4988lbs external Max gross

L3 - 4150 lbs Internal, 4250 External Max gross

 

BA - 350 miles Max range

L3 - 320 miles Max range

(both with 30 min reserve)

 

 

(All figures are under optimal conditions)

 

 

So the only thing that a L3 is better than a BA in is the number of passenger it can carry.

 

But you can do a lefthand drive(with right hand love seat) or left hand love seat (2 pax chair) Mod and The BA can carry 6 pax.

 

Plus the BA is a dream to work on compared to the L3! :up:

 

Although you do need a little more hanger space for a BA.

 

Just my two cents

 

Cheers

Good work Bubba, now work out the numbers for +30 @ 8000'

 

Skids Up, what can I say? You are a GREAT goalie !

[bubba]

+30 and 8000 feet? Thats pilot talk man!

 

Now leave me alone so I can go fix something!

 

LOL LOL :punk:

This L3 vs. BA thread is a little unfair.

 

To even the odds, it should be L3 vs. a pile of dog feces... :bleh:

 

 

 

6 in a Longranger? That's tight! Mind you, the Geneva seat kinda sucks too.

 

But I would rather be one of 6 stuffed in an Astar, that's for sure.
