Yip. Got it, very informative with usefull loads, stall speeds, cruising and VNE etc.
Prices of Microlights are qouted ex Vat though I think, because it looks too cheap.

Welcome to the forum Bantam, 8)

Just one thing the specifications for the Challenger wrt empty, full weight and carrying capacity are for the single seat version.

A typical empty 503 long Wing 2-place weighs in at 200Kg, carrying capacity is thus 250kg to take it up to 450KG

Interesting thing to see is how many are flying already in SA. Some of them have no previous sales here.

Good reading material just one thing that bugs me and that is all the agencies that belong to people for so long and no aircraft flying in the country.
I'm not looking for an agency all I say is if you want to represent a certain model then get the stuff flying.

Oh yes one more thing welcome to Bantam and all you have to do is visit us for breakfast at Rhino ona Saturday.
OK that goes for anyone.
