Thanks all, I must admit, only done a few hours with it but it flies like a dream, feels light and easy. It offers nice protection from the wind but the open feeling and excellent view remains as one experience with the trikes.

Situation stands like this. Braam at CAA has asked me to show him that I have done something on my motor. On the weekend I will do a full dekoke and check rings etc. I will do this with the assistance of a certified AP who will then sign my logbook off ONCE AGAIN!!!!! Hopefully that will give me my wings Back!!!!!! :roll: :!: If that does not satisfy them,then....... that is it!! I will sell the thing and buy a 950 KTM!

Actually was offered a 640 ktm with 35000km for R35k. Not too bad. But it's not a 950! My dream machine! Other than my Challie. love the Challie to bits. What you flying now? Oops! see a Bantam. Are you happy? Want go up in one still. There's a guy at our airfield recently bought one. Going to bum a ride soon!

Skid Lad,

I look at the photo's and I miss my Challenger, honestly I do... its a fabulous fabulous little plane. Do i like the Bantam???? I flipping love it, mainly I guess because of the jabiru engine. Is not Fair to compare them as they are very very different plames, each with there own charactersitics.... Would I buy another Challenger down the line YES !!!!

Get the guy to give you a ride in the Bantam, you will love it.. (^^)
