Blue one is a kit built SIG Kobra.
I also had a Red 40 Stick with an OS 55 upfront. This was the only plane I really used , could do anything.

RC Heli is a Raptor 30 v2 with most of the upgrades available , all metal parts and carbon blades etc.

Morne,

Nice RC aircraft there.

I would suggest that you phone Flo, at Aero57, if you haven't yet and book a intro flight with him. That obviously is if you really want to fly, because after that, there is no turning back.. (^^) (^^)

Geez Morne, you look so small in that cockpit.


Serious boet, book a flight and you will not be sorry.

Cheers,

Andy

After browsing this and other sites im starting to lean more towards 3-axis.
I suppose it comes down to $$ in the end because of the cost of 3 axis planes?

Are there any differences in the licenses cost etc?

For Conventional Controlled Microlight, i.e. 3-axis up to 450kg mauw no real difference, depending on what the school plane is. If it is a very expensive composite then the rental component compared to a trike would be more. both require 25 hours training

For Light Sport Aircraft, more expensive because you will be required to do 35 hours training
