Re: Clip of landing on mountain (STOL)

HI Mogas

Not the one, but still very impressive. I think it was possibly the same aircraft type. The one I'm looking for was landed on a hill. Take off was +- 10 metres.

Thanks Mogas

Clip of landing on mountain (STOL)

3-4 months ago there was a post of an aircraft landing on a mountain slope and also taking of with extreme STOL performance.

I have searched high and low but cannot seem to find this. Does anyone have the link to this?

Re: Radio noise on Microair M760

Thank you Paul and Weedy. Will try over week-end. Paul, just want to ask, if I need to adjust on the radio, does this sound like the Tone or Power Output that needs adjustment? I presume the problem is too much power as the RPM drops. My assumption is that the high output interfears with RPM meter. ...

Radio noise on Microair M760

Flying a Jabiru with Microair M760 radio. The past few flights I started to notice inconsistent radio behaviour. When transmitting, RPM drops.

Transponder installation

I just bought a used transponder - KT76A. The seller did not include cables. Apparently this comes with the encoder.

Is this a standard cable? Will it be included with the encoder? I didn't even know I had to buy a seperate encoder.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Re: Koala 2 seater for sale

Hi Duck

I am a PPL pilot, and excuse my ignorance on MPL. If it can be flown on PPL : Is this a Non Type certified aircraft? May it be flown over built-up areas?
Stall speed?
Max all-up weight?
Any known issues?
