  1. What an enlightening documentary, I'm gobsmacked.
  2. Brendan, you quoted speed of 65kts with high cruise of 80kts. I had an X-air standard with a 618 for 10 years. The cruise speed was around 55-60kts. No way could we get 80kts. The X-air stated cruise is 54kts & a max speed of 65kts with VNE 82kts
  3. I have heard that Aerofly fs4 is the best sim for VR
  4. Later models of the X-air were made with a wide entry kit option. Getting in & out was just a matter of technique.
  5. Flew an X-air for 8 years & loved it but I am only 6'2" & 63kg wet🤣. Definately worth a try.
  6. Aeros make great trikes. Been flying an Ant for 7 years & love it. No hangerage helps😁
  7. Great video & strange to see the swastika displayed on the tail of the German aircraft.
  8. Landed in a pugged out cattle paddock once, never again. Nearly rattled every tooth out of my mouth!!
  9. If you want to go real slow get a nanolite like the Aeros Ant. Folds down into 3 packs, Wing, base & engine. The engine & base should fit into the back of most vehicles & the wing goes on the roof racks. Then you don't have to worry about hangerage. They are fabulous machines & great fun to fly.
  10. How insulting to all the grieving victims of this mass murder. Can’t believe any thinking person could support this abomination of a conspiracy theory.
  11. Tried to buy some engine mounts for my homebuilt trike from Flexible Drive long time ago. When I mentioned what they were for they refused point blank to sell them to me. Had to send a mate in to buy them for a go-cart. That seemed to work lol.
  12. I co-owned one for 10 years from 2004. It was a joy to fly. We had a 618 which was discontinued by Rotax but it proved to be very reliable & I believe there is a company in the states that can do a re-build including the crankshaft. Airframe quality was fine, simple bolted tubing, easy to inspect & maintain.
