If you talking about the double odessey panel - it belongs to this puppy.

hi.nice machine at good price...cheap than cheetha...and more sped...value for money..

[Stephan van Tonder]

I totally agree - If you can fit into it...

[Wallaby]

Me. I have no problem, seeing that I'm just a little bit heavier than the Sunday paper, I fit in everything very easy . Don't have the same problem as you BEEEEGGG okes .

I like these Jab's very much, and if I had the money, it would certainly be in my toybox. I also like the dual stick control more, but then the throttle must be on the panel on the left and centre, because I fly with my right hand. But the centre stick, being it a Y-stick or single is better in small narrower aerie, because with me I get that you have better aileron control than with a stick between your legs. So with the okes with legs the size of my waist, it is a struggle to roll the aerie with dual sticks.

Very nice aeries and very, very nice to fly. Like them very much.

I had the opportunity to spend some time again today with the SP120, the more I see it the more I like it ! I managed to take some photos of the interior as promised as well as some closeup detail shots.

Here are a few.













More to follow.......

I see the fueltank is also behind the seat as in the SP 470. What I like about this one is the feultap is close to the pilot. In the SP 470 I flew, the fueltap was not reachable once your strapped in. So in flight emergencies, like a fire you will have to unstrap and reach forward and close the tap and then struggle with two hands to buckle up again. Not very safe, me thinks .

Like the trim lever also. I see there's two levers, one on each side. Also, it looks like the armrest is positioned at a nice comfortable angle and the control stick a bit higher than in the 470. It also looks as if the seats are a bit further to the back than in a SP 470. Would love to get a go in this one. I envy you guys.

Bennie, bel die fabriek en vra om met Len te praat, Anders gaan kuier vir hulle in George !

Ek is bly om te sien jy kyk nog na vliegtuie en het nie heeltemal opgegee nie

Kyk net hoe mooi.....

[Bennie Vorster]

Maybe we can arrange a fly in at Newcastle or Battlefields for them to display....................

I would really like to take a flip in it or to at lease sit in it... If I get the Bushbaby Slod, this might be my next upgrade............

I am sure a plan can be made Lets see what can be done....

Bennie, have you flown the normal SP ?

[Bennie Vorster]

No unfortenatly not, closest one is in Dundee, but for that kinda price I cant emagen more value for the buck....And after all it is time to either upgrade or lay down the wings...

[Bennie Vorster]

Spoke to Len, The plane is booked for Cap Town But he will se as to what he can arrange to send it down to Newcastle and keep us posted. R350 000.00 vat inc.............. . This oukie is going to bring LSA flying home to quite a few poor guys like me.

Hi Bennie,

Good news on the 120 visiting your part of the world, yes, the price is really impressive, like the plane.

If you are ever in this area feel free to come for a flip in a SP470
