Re: Transponder for trike

Re: BRS?

My old trike had a BRS system installed. I think if I had a engine out I would definitely not have used it. I know my plane had a second engine (gravity) and pulling that bar just a little I was on perfect glide slope vhpy vhpy . So all I had to do was find a landing spot. Trikes land slowly so you ...

Re: Savannah trip Botswana Namibia

Hi Rudolph, I would defnitely be interested to join. But it will depend on the time of year and how long you are planning to go for.

Sounds like a great idea. Agree with Henry that we should not limit this to only Savannah's. vhpy

Cheers

Re: Sold my trike and bought a Savannah S

Hi Deon, I ordered my plane in December / Jan and took delivery in May. I guess it will all depend on how busy John is. Actual build time once they start is 6 to 8 weeks.
