Pioneer DualStar

Postby Xtra7012 » Fri Jan 19, 2007 8:01 pm

Hi all

I`m new to this forum, I have enjoyed reading all the various topics.
I`m busy rebuilding a 1983 Pioneer DualStar, I would like to know if there are any of the above mentioned microlight/s in the country.

Regards

Hi again all

Here is a pic of my uncompleted DualStar, Hence now a new 503 with E box and Warp Drive prop fitted.
Has anyone flown a DualStar in this configuration ?

I would suggest using the 582 instead. The 503 will be a little low down on power, 2-up. Do you perhaps have a plan set for this aerie? :D

Doesn't that depend on where you fly from? Morph seemed happy with his BP 503?

How's weight compare to the Challenger?

Hi Boet

Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately I only have the assembly manual for the DualStar.
Would you know of any hangerage available for my airrie in the JHB area, close to Ruimsig ?

Yes my Challenger, and most we have down here at the coast fly happily 2-up with a little 503. But the plane is very sleek compared to the Flightstar and I do agree with Boet, if you are going to be flying a lot 2-up or you are at altitude then a 582 would be better

There is a Dual star as you call it, flying regularly at Morning Star. We have 2 older guys who always fly together. It is 582 powered and the guys love the machine.

Hi Morph

Do you have any contact details of the owner of this dualstar at Morning Star or even the registration number.
