Hi guys,
I have been looking over the net to see what 3 axis microlights are available to purchase in RSA. One in particular i noticed was the Quicksilver MXL Sport which i thought was a great looking airie, however it is an Australian plane, and i dont know if the kit can be purchased in RSA. I also do not know anything about importing a kit, legal, CAA, insurances, costs and other important stuff which will effect the flying of an imported plane. Is there a web site that has a comparison of verious microlight specs?
Regards
Barry PMB

Check Junkmail. There have been a couple for sale recently. It is quiet an old design so many may need recovering and maybe engine work...

Re: 3-axis fixed wing microlights
Historically the Quicksilver along with the Skyfox and the MAC CDL were among the first 2 and 3-axis aircraft available in SA. Very high drag, had a kingpost with a lot of cables supporting the wing from top and bottom. Best performance would be about 50 mph. The Quicksilver you are referring to is a new model, modern design etc. Get hold of the company and try and find if they already have a local distributor.
Other locally available 3-axis Microlights and Light Sport Aircraft are
Microlight
Bantam
Thunderbird
Challenger
Jora
Cheetah 582
Oribi
etc
LSA
Bushbaby
Cheetah 912
Savannah
Jabiru
etc
look under the agents and information forum
