Flying Wingboard undergoes wind tunnel testing!

What do you think of this invention? Looks fun, but I somehow don't think it will be that simple to learn, or master . . . if it ever becomes legal! ## Read about it HERE: Successful wind tunnel testing brings flying wakeboard closer to takeoff If you've ever peered out across the wing from a plane ...

Thanks, John

New Runway at Kokoriba

This looks really cool! A new runway (07/25 and 1,500m - estimated) under construction at Kokoriba, at almost right angles to the existing runway (14/32). It looks as if you could do a few touch-and-goes along the length of it. Kokoriba - New Runway.jpg Kokoriba - New Runway GE.jpg If you are unsure...

Video showing the Danger of Rotor Wash

Fellow pilots! There are times at fly-ins and air shows where you may be landing or taking off after a helicopter. Flying a microlight makes you particularly susceptible to ROTOR WASH from a helicopter, and ones far smaller than the UH-60 Blackhawk in this video! ## ## Full Article and Video HERE . ...
