Sorry can`t help with the question but seeing the Saphire reminded me of the time when a guy in a white Saphire landed on my strip.

 

He`d flown it up from Brisbane to attend to some buisness in Cairns, then flew it back.

 

I was impressed.

Ah! Benigo - one of the principals of the famous Tel Aviv aircraft sales consultancy firm of Shadrach, Meshach and a Benigo.

Its been a very long time since i flew a Sapphire, but very light on the controls, and also extremely light in pitch, but can get used to it, also very slippery, pull back the power and you wont be slowing down in a hurry. so you have to plan your approaches.
