The great "Balls to the Wall" Challange, GT450 vs Whirlwind 912s

I love the Cheetah - maybe you can take me for a ride sometime. I was looking at one before I bought my aerie but never had a long enough flight to decide. Vladimir (sp?) always does really short around the patch flips.

A plan should be made. They are lovely little planes. But you have seen my ramblings already and must know by now why I like them. I still think best value for money by a long shot and really very comfortable.

The handicap situation was to allow everyone to participate and not just Big G and Alex. 912 vs 503 is a non starter for eg without handicap. It was a more the merrier type setup.

I can't disagree, this will be interesting but think about the following.

What does it really matter, who flies the fastest? I mean where are you going too? The whole idea is to fly and enjoy every second of it!! If you want speed get into a Bugatti Veyrron,Lambo or Ferrari or a King Air. Compared to microlights even the Cessna 172 will cruise past any microlight at 120 knots. At this speed the WW or GT R will look like 2 muskiete in mid-air reverse.

We do recreational flying, not flying for business purposes, that's a different matter If you are a speed freak, then you are in the wrong department. Pass "Go" and collect R51 million for a King Air or go to jail.

Cant fault your logic !! We fly to be up in the air - why is everyone so keen to get there fast and get down again.

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Get there fast YES. Get down NO NO NO rather go again (and again)

I love Fishing on microlighters !

Love you all you bunch of chops... fly safe !!! and yes the more the merrier as always...

Especially since it's afternoon

[Dish]

That maybe so I stand corrected.... I am however not drunk, nor on drugs, just trying to get through this day in flipping cold disgustingly unwinter like weather....

[kloot piloot]

It is all about speed !! Allways has been !

Topic heading in the wrong direction !

We are awaiting the WW readiness.

Can CAA report what the hold-up is ? Braam, I saw you on air the other day. Any inside info ?

[Wargames]

when doing long trips around the country, some extra speed is cool
for a cabbage patch sunday arvie flight, sure, who cares

Maybe some of us enjoy it to get there SLOW, or maybe we can't afford to get there any quicker(Demon, this pun is intended).

[Africa]

has this race ever happened?? who won??

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Nope
Whirlwind still in development phase....
