Guernsey Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 What a beautiful looking aircraft, it must be fun to fly. I liked the 'lunch bag' strapped to the side, ideal for those long distance flights unless it held bird seed for your fellow fliers. Do you have a formation flying endorsement? Alan.

Keenaviator Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 That 'lunch bag' looks a lot like a paraglider/hang glider reserve :) Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanB Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 L/D is a bit over 10:1, sink rate is about 220 feet/min and stall speed is 20 mph indicated. Usually have to wipe the bugs off the trailing edge where they have run into me from behind :) Thermals nicely with no vices...and yes, it's a lot of fun to fly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
