Raptor wing
Any experienced comment about the Raptor wing's adjustable tailing edge setting?
Hav'nt played too much but by raising the tailing edge allows for quicker lift,especially with heavy pax, although compromises speed. Simply re-adjust once straight and level.

My itch started only this time last year. The first inspiration was watching the local documentary about a bunch of guys cruising the South African borders on trikes. The simplicity, slow speed and view intrigued me. Suddenly, every magazine I opened had a trike in it. When they showed the British g...

My kid's ( 2 boys 10 and 12) attitude transformation between me training to licence was remarkable. No hassles to get up at 05h30. Both are extremely comfortable flying, to the point where during during a pristine calm flight, felt very slight 'movement', only to find Jason 'flying - raised arms, an...

Congrats, Also only 5hrs with MPL, greatest joy is flipping my kids. Before, had no chance of them getting up at 5h30, now they fight for turns. Also can be very quite, sometimes only one on the radio. The freedom also somewhat isolates you, no mates (instructor and fellow students) to chew the fat,...

Doing my first cross country, we took 1 hour 35 min from Secunda to Springs and 40 minutes to get back. Beautifull sailing till the last 15 minutes which became such a 'gat stamp' I thought is was part of an initiation shake. I suppose if tailwind does'nt exsist then the air can move pretty erratica...
