Air Creation Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Congratulations to Martin, Ken and Noel.. with their decision to grow the Tanarg BioniX 13 family in Australia. Two new aircraft are scheduled for arrival in late August at YFT and Noel has purchase my 2007 Tanarg iXess machine. Martin's machine is the latest demo trike, fitted with the Rotax 912es (100hp) version and has all the options including BMW -Gunmetal colour and the Extra Silent exhaust system. The wing, a BioniX 13 is a unique colour design... identical to the Pitch Test version (see image) which Air Creation achieved compliance to the tough German DULV Stability Compliance procedures in 2012. Ken's ... Tanarg 912s (100hp) will be striking Tornado Red and the BioniX 13 has a custom colour concept that will definitely be impressive and personal by design. This aircraft will have the training controls for flight instruction, including dual steer and foot throttle for the instructor in the rear seat, providing maximum safety for both student and instructor. [floatl][/floatl] Our third new member to the Tanarg family is Noel.. and has commenced training with Peter at YFT in my much loved Tanarg iXess 15. By all reports, Noel is having a great time cruising the skies of Yarrawonga with Peter and learning to fly with good progress to solo soon.

Air Creation Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 Tanarg Family update.. soooooO WINDY.. no flying in Victoria. YFT and WEFLY take a blast in TB13.. Forty years in flight.. and my blast with YFT was ever so rewarding! The awesome YFT Tanarg BioniX is a sweet machine.. We launch into cold low level air, enjoy just 7 minutes of circuit flight in a sky of ugly mammatus after a day of very strong winds - local news reports for Melbourne.. strongest winds ever - 140 klms. On left base.. a huge burst of hot air from the right side hits us in the cockpit.. wow, thats mad! The TB13 continues to fly smoothly without any major command input - just amazing! Lesson - never trust the invisible, but you can trust the TB13. Thanks YFT for a fun short flight - a memory forever. Lets do it again in smooth air. The QCS Compliance process progress is moving smoothly and all documents are with RAA and the hand-over package is delivered to (Ken & Martin) aircraft owners. A bed of compliance for two machines.. 32-8390 and 32-8391.. 18 documents for each aircraft confirm compliance. The warm friendship of YFT pilots and the humble facilities allow the QCS progress to continue... in the ZONE. Should the Vic weather be kind and we are granted RAA registration.. you will see us FLY. Stay tuned..
