Another NATFLY question

[moy71]

For anyone who has been to previous NATFLYs, are there opportunities at the actual venue to:

 

1. purchase an aircraft at discounted price?

 

2. test fly a particular aircraft on sale (if any) ?

 

3. purchase accessories ie headsets, maps, etc etc ?

 

Somehow I have the impression that the NATFLY is similar to a Motorshow where a lot of items are not merely static displays, and that they encourage hands-on.

 

Thanks for the info.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

 

Ooh baby yes.

 

Right there.

 

Ooh.

 

Sorry - got carried away.

 

Definite yes to all 3. The discounts will vary, but there are quite a few trade displays, shops and people test flying.

Not to mention the "Fly-Market" where various 2nd hand bits are for sale each year. Last year I bought a Powermate Regulator there for $75 and they're about $250 new. It now lives on a single seater trike and is working well.

 

That's just an example of the various aircraft bits that can be found there each year for both Ultralight and GA.:thumb_up:

 

Cheers,
