Reminds me of an incident at Barwon Heads years ago. The owner of the sky diving op, Luke ? Executed a sharp L/H turn after lift off on 27. L/H wing clipped the front of a hanger & he cart wheeled into & penetrated the roof. Had to be rescued from an inverted position with fuel leaking around & into the hanger. Questions were asked about his suitability to operate a sky diving operation let alone fly. I was flying trikes in those days & there were a few near misses with the sky divers. I nearly collected a meat bomb as I was on short final to the active runway & had to take evasive action to avoid this clown as he crossed right in front of me. Happy days

Funnily enough that's how I started my flying career when I saw a picture of a trike on the cover of a magazine in a dentists waiting room.

It's the only plane that can accommodate his gigantic ego

What an enlightening documentary, I'm gobsmacked.

Jato perhaps?

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

I have heard that Aerofly fs4 is the best sim for VR

Later models of the X-air were made with a wide entry kit option. Getting in & out was just a matter of technique.

Flew an X-air for 8 years & loved it but I am only 6'2" & 63kg wet🤣. Definately worth a try.

Aeros make great trikes. Been flying an Ant for 7 years & love it. No hangerage helps😁

Great video & strange to see the swastika displayed on the tail of the German aircraft.

Landed in a pugged out cattle paddock once, never again. Nearly rattled every tooth out of my mouth!!

Max pilot weight with full fuel is 95kg

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.

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.
