[Duck Rogers]

Anyone got an APPROVED Flight Manual for a Challenger - standard or clipped wing.

[Dish]

I had one mate but gave it to the guy who bought my challenger - His name is Ernst or something like that on this forum.... perhaps you could get a copy from him - sorry cant be too much more help than that

Morph,

We have an owners manual that should suffice for a POH but you should already have it since it comes with the Challenger kit. The owners manual contains most of the things on your list below. Installed equipment is not listed since we don't know what equipment you are installing.

If you don't have the owners manual you can purchase one for $20.00 plus postage. Fax you order to 309-762-3920 with a Visa or Mastercard number, name, exp date and security code.

Dave at the Challenger factory.

Morph mate , who is the local guy based in Cape town, is is name not Peter or something like that??? used to have his number but dont anymore -

Challenger locally should wake up and sell more planes... especially the little clip wing !!!

[Morph]

I know him personally, Peter Wolf.

I'll ask him this weekend when I see him at the airfield

He has partnered with Phil Bristow and they have brought in a few of the new small factory prebuilt clipped wings, very nice

Hi, I have an approved flight manual for the Challenger. Flying LSII long wing ZU-BTM. Phillip van Niekerk operating out Sierra Romea near Bapsfontein will also be able to help.
My cel: no 082 419 3663. Phillip V's no is 082 2588 618. Oh, yes, and is the Bantam that little plane that lands about half an hour after the Challenger on our cross country's??

[Dish]

It is in fact the plane that lands half an hour after the challenger (clip wing i may add) , EXCEPT, it lands where it planned to, not out in a field somewhere... faster is not always best chap, trust me, i have owned both.... and just for Shits and Giggles te long wing aint as fast as you might think it is

[Cor]

No fields or dirt roads - YET!!!. Flown the Bantam lots, great aerie too, just not enough speed for me. And we really dont want any more aeries in fields, hard ground etc., even if they are lawnmowers with parachutes.

[Dish]

Ya i hear you - I just love anything that flies and to be honest i loved ( and will own one again ) my challenger, Clip wing though Just went for the reliability of the Jabi motor, if i could strap one on a challenger would be a BEAUTIFUL little plane../.. but hey, its all good. !!!

Fly safe me mate !
