Re: Pilots on the forum
I am currently shopping for a but-fan, That to me is one of the most affordable, 'part-of-the-elements' flying out there...
My biggest concern is the fact that it's already started taking my focus off of shooting....

Re: Pilots on the forum
There are nice videos on Youtube where they glide around the Alps. It looks amazing. That is why I think motorgliders are the perfect middle ground. You can self-launch (no winching or towing required), and once in the thermals, you can switch off the engine and just glide.

Yeah, on the costs, my old man was also looking to get a Jabiru or the like a few years ago, but gave it up due to costs.
Now I've been roped in to help build him a 737 simulator

Re: Pilots on the forum
Is that the one with the massive fan behind your butt and a parachute? The sport/hobbie seems to be taking off in a big way in J-Bay recently...excuse the pun.
Time flies when you're having fun, and while things are looking up on this thread I fear if I spend to much time on the internet I might be grounded, so I should best take off. Sorry, couldn't help myself. The first really was an accident.
