Up and down you might say... At least 3 gone down this year - 2 with fatalities. :(

Re: Tandem vs Side by Side; Perfect vs Ideal.

Somehow I think we are being lied to! :lol: :lol: ## I saw that there was a Trixy Aviation G4-2R at Kitty Hawk, painted white on the one side and camo on the other. Built in Germany.

Re: Tandem vs Side by Side; Perfect vs Ideal.

Thanks Len for the feedback, burst another bubble for me though! :roll: vhpy Because of our winters I am not keen on any open cockpit machine.

Re: Tandem vs Side by Side; Perfect vs Ideal.

I read all this with a lot of interest! vhpy Still trying to wrap my head around the prices of these machines though. :(

Would the Calidus or Arrow Copter be OK to train an ab initio gyro pilot with?

Re: The Rotortec Clouddancer project

Wow, that blue and black one looks stunning!! vhpy

What is the difference between the 2 and 4 bladed ones, seeing that the 4 bladed one has now flown?

What would the price for the II be, and what is the 19% MWST, a tax? Would that be applicable when exporting?

Re: GYRO'S DO'S AND DONT'S - EXPERT ADVISE PLSE

So what I get from your advise on emergency landing is to glide her down to roughly a meter or 2 and then dead stick to break the forward speed before landing where ever you are (rough ...
