Baie baie geluk Tinkerbell!

Ek kan nie wag om foto's en vliegverslae te sien van jou pragtige masjien nie. Hou ons almal asseblief op hoogte.

Mak, dalk moet jy nou maar vir jou 'n Arrowcopter uittrek :)

Die reën moet eers ophou voor Theuns haar kan toetsvlieg. Dit kan maar wag, want ons het die reën baie nodig. Maar, ai...
Marius is baie lief vir sy Xenon, ek twyfel of hy van haar sal kan afsien. Goed so, want hy gaan sukkel om 'n beurt in Cali te kry!

The stick is dead quiet. Feet off rudders, hand off stIck - very stable. Flew her at about 75mph, 4800 ERPM, 28 manifold pressure with 12.5l per hour fuel consumption! VP prop easy to use, MGL screen works well, as in the Xenon. Take off and landIngs very sImIlar to my Ela. DId feel the cross wInd on landIng a bIt more due to the closed canopy. I can see myself getting very attached to this machine.

Well finally I got a flip today. What a nice return flight from Springs. This is such a good gyro it even made the take-off and landing very smooth. :wink: :wink:
Thanks wifie, I really enjoyed this mornings flight. Your take-off and landing was close to perfect.
I like the smoothness of the new generation rotors, the good visibility, the gyro's agility, the pilot l-v and then also for cruising at close to 100Mph.
