Good Morning, all,

I __want__ one!

Trouble is – where would you find an electric charging point in the UK to recharge it following landing?

📄(english translation) Investigation report on the accident to the @RobinAircraft registered F-GLDN and the fixed-wing ATEC 122 Zéphyr identified 44APT on 29/11/2024 at . Collision on final between an aeroplane and a microlight, collision of the aeroplane with the ground. bea.aero/en/investigation-repo

It appears that since recently I'm sitting more often in the right seat. No matter if as PAX or PIC 🤷
And I tried and compared the A/C with the shortest and with the longest wingspan of our fleet.
Roll rate, stability and the relation of speed and lift are interesting 🤩

Our BZF Theory Class Session afterwards was also good fun. Just a few students this time but they seemed happy, I can tell.

Sodwana Bay coastline.
#southafrica #beach #coastline #microlight
The scene unfolds over the pristine coastline near Sodwana Bay, South Africa. I am soaring through the air, suspended beneath a vibrant wing of a microlight aircraft. Below, the Indian Ocean crashes against the sandy shore, flanked by dense, verdant forests stretching inland. The atmosphere is one of isolated exploration and adventure.

"Well, if this is being a test pilot!" Seen at Old Warden late 1970s, early 1980s, a very early example of a microlight type aircraft.

Ok, flying the Archer yesterday was nice.
But the Little One today, at least as much.
What do you think?

I had no idea that #Sinclair Research had a project manager working on #aircraft (as well as #ElectricVehicles ). From the #SinclairResearch staff directory 1982 sinclairql.net/repository.html

an extract from the Sinclair Research staff directory 1982, for David Park. "David is concerned with the electric car project. He is also carrying out a feasibility study of a 'microlight' aeroplane."

@hopfgeist ha! Nice.
Yeah but it would be almost three hours from my home base EDNY in any other A/C and actually I was looking for some #microlight flying, this weekend. (Hence the destinations in the south)

Well, a Piper is still available, SAT/SUN. Let's see... I'm a bit hooked by your idea.
