Microlighters

Here are some photos of Eric Savenger and I's trip out to the Salton Sea flyin event. We had perfect weather conditions for all day flying pretty much the whole time we were gone. We would take off at sunrise, head out for the day landing in all sorts of places, meeting all sorts of people and come back by sunset - filming the whole trip. Eric works in the photography field travelling around to hospitals setting up equipment, and thus takes wonderful photos. The highlight for both of us was playing around in the Glamis Sand Dunes.

I have lots of video to start working on now!

Mmmm. HKS engine??

Correct Boet, it is a HKS-700E engine.

How does the HKS perform at higher altitudes ( 4000 - 5000 ft agl)? Have you had any reliability issues?

Hi Jonimoz, HKS is a little on the underpowered side in the 6,000+ altitudes for 2 up. By myself it is fine. I've flown it now from -200 to 9,600 feet without changing any settings. At sea level it's a great engine 2 up I believe. I have never flown 2up before in my HKS ... yet.
