Good morning guys!

Many thanks to the attendees and the media for a wonderful event!

Due to the fog/mist most of the Cheetah owners could not make it, but we appreciate the effort. We missed every single one of you guys!

Bad Nav, a badge will be mailed off to you, I'll see to that myself. Feel free to visit us anytime (-)

From a total unbiased and objective view - I think the Cheetah is the most impressive looking microlight aerie out there. Nice aggressive stance - even with it's bootlace covering - :wink: sorry Morph.

I love the look of that aerie, from the first day I saw it.

Almost no input - crosswind take off - you can only feel how much the wing lifts when the wheels leave the ground. The thing you see hanging down is the flaps at 1st notch for takeoff.
