As for the braking system; the new hydraulic braking system is nearing completion, we'll keep you updated on that ^*^^

Can the new throttle system be retro fitted? Cost?

Retro fitted throttle system:

We haven't done this kind of conversion yet, but I'm sure it can be arranged. !!!!

However, I haven't had any complaints on the current throttle setup. It is quite comfy (for training purposes).

Why don't you visit us for a demo flight? (!!)

As for the Retro-fitted throttle, unfortunately the Cheetah isn't certified for this, we believe the current throttle system works best for it's application.

Please contact us if you require more info on this.

Have a great weekend, and fly safe (!!)

Bush Baby, Bush Baby..... :wink: :lol: 8)

Actually both the Cheetah and the Skyranger are great aeries and I would happily fly either

to me
Pros
Cheetah, lekker looks, nice interior, proudly South African
Skyranger, value for money

Cons
Both, covering, I don't like the "laced on" look although I do understand Trilam is very durable
Fuel behind the seat in the cockpit.

Did I mention Bush Baby :?: :lol:

Hi Morph.

I am not sure if you did mention the Bush Baby, but it does look very similar to your aerie - cannot remember what you fly for some silly reason ## puff :twisted: :twisted:
