Borrowed this from another topic. I visited the factory last friday (13 Jan) and the first plane should be ready by the end of the month. They have covered the tail feathers, fitted a Hirth motor and were almost ready to start covering the wings and fuselage. They had also started work on a tail dragger version.alanmack wrote:Got You some more information via Hazzard
The one guy that has bought an aircraft is 6"41/2" and he fits in without any discomfort as Ive built this aircraft.
The next guy that came round was 6'6" and only had 1" spare between he's head and the top boom bar.
We have looked into this and can lower the seat by 3" if we take the rear control column out and can lower the seat by 2" if we change the type of elevator push-rod, which would give the 6'6" guy a 3" clearance from he's head to the boom bar.
Apparently should one need some more elbow space one can build swell doors which bubble out a bit.

1) All the prices are on the www.cgsaviation.com in US$ and have most prices attached
We have only freight, agents, and crating fees added on to those prices, which is dependant on the exchange rate used at the time of purchase.
Airframe and covering U.S $ 13237 R83394.00
Engine mount for 582 Rotax U.S $ 175 R1103.00
Wing tanks If Required U.S $ 424 R2672.00
USA Packing U.S $ 300 R1890.00
Freight and Agent fees Rands R11179.00
Total needed to get flying is R95676.00 and a bit of work if you supply the 582 and instrumentation from your trike.
It reminds me a bit of Fairy Fly's ZU-TUG. Dave showed me a vidio of a pilot doing some amazing flying incliding looping the plane!
Quality is excellent and you get a lot of plane for your money. Does any one have any knowledge or experience of the plane? Are there any flying in South Africa?
