pylon500 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Great bit of footage (and nice soundtrack), but, dragging a Twin Astir off the ground with a Foxbat was a bit of an ask. I wonder how long that lake strip was? Looks like they were only going to 1000' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylon500 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Wanted to see the weight variations of some of the two seat gliders I've flown, thinking that the Blanik to be the lighter of the Twin Astir and an IS-28, as it is, but was interested to note their gross weights are not as far apart as I would have thought. IS-28 = 590kg Twin Astir = 580kg Blanik = 500kg Still not sure I want to dangle along behind something that could have trouble dragging me through the back of a wave... Arthur.

.Evan. Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 My instructor told me the other day that he had never had to use the cabin heat in the Foxbat... I think in that instance in Norway it would be necessary! I quite often have to give thanks to the Aviation Gods for bringing us cabin heat. It's cold here in Ballarat sometimes!
