Re: Challengers!!
Thanks all, I must admit, only done a few hours with it but it flies like a dream, feels light and easy. It offers nice protection from the wind but the open feeling and excellent view remains as one experience with the trikes.

Re: Challengers!!
Situation stands like this. Braam at CAA has asked me to show him that I have done something on my motor. On the weekend I will do a full dekoke and check rings etc. I will do this with the assistance of a certified AP who will then sign my logbook off ONCE AGAIN!!!!! Hopefully that will give me my wings Back!!!!!!
If that does not satisfy them,then....... that is it!! I will sell the thing and buy a 950 KTM!

Re: Challengers!!
Actually was offered a 640 ktm with 35000km for R35k. Not too bad. But it's not a 950! My dream machine! Other than my Challie. love the Challie to bits. What you flying now? Oops! see a Bantam. Are you happy? Want go up in one still. There's a guy at our airfield recently bought one. Going to bum a ride soon!

Re: Challengers!!
Skid Lad,
I look at the photo's and I miss my Challenger, honestly I do... its a fabulous fabulous little plane. Do i like the Bantam???? I flipping love it, mainly I guess because of the jabiru engine. Is not Fair to compare them as they are very very different plames, each with there own charactersitics.... Would I buy another Challenger down the line YES
Get the guy to give you a ride in the Bantam, you will love it..
