Re: Coastal Flying in December

Craig, The raptor is a very nice trike with a very strong undercarriage.I have flown one.I found that if I induced a stall it dropped a lot more radically than the Aquilla 1 wing.I must say it gave me a bit of a Skrik, but then what do pilots say, One good Skrik is better than 10 hours dual instruct...
