    I can reassure you-it will be the right decision. I've been down the same path as you. However, before the Fox, I owned an Avid with a two-stroke engine. I originally came from the Cessna 172. The "kick-down" was tough, but when you fly a lot, you have to look for alternatives. Burning 50 liters of Avgas per hour was simply not sustainable for me at around 120 hours per year-not to mention the maintenance costs. But back to the essentials. Even today, especially when the weather doesn’t allow for flying, I miss the Fox. Low and slow-that's fun! But with your WT9, which has similar performance to my Cherry, you'll discover many new adventures, and flying will take on a whole new feeling for you. It’s a step closer to the light plane class and a step further from the ultralight class. You won’t regret it! But I can also tell you - von Zeit zu Zeit, wirst du deinen Fox vermissen ;-) Alles Gute!

    Those wings are incredibly light! I paused and looked back at he video and to see just one engineer pick a wing up. My little glider has way heavier wings than that and it needs two people to lift them with the guy on the root (usually me) lifting what seems like 35 kg or there abouts.

      Apparently in that state each wing weighs 16kg… It’s just mind blowing 🤯 how material science has moved things on.

    Congratulations on ordering this amazing aircraft. I bought a used one in 2023 and the more I use it, the more I love it. Especially the uncredible quality of service manuals and support service to me with my 16 year old aircraft for any questions for the upgrade to 914 I did by myself is just proof to have bought the right plane. I am an aircraft engineer with design and certifying experience in CS22, 23 and even Ultralight approvals for the DAeC and I truly have not yet seen any better understanding of technical design with respect to certifiying things. I don't know anyone better and I would love to ever have the experience to buy a last model version new one. But of course I already have 95% of the todays model already in my stable. I love it more with every use and even every service operation I have to do, I'm sure you will have too.

It’s also remarkable to hear how much you’ve been able to modify & maintain your aircraft to suit your needs. I’m not sure if many people have your skills & could do that though 👍🏼 It is also interested to hear that despite you having an aircraft that is 16 years old, there is no great need to change. Again, this speaks to just how well-built the Aerospool aircraft are 👏🏼 Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Thank you also for watching this video & taking time to comment 😊🙏🏼

      My pleasure. You wife was good in the video too. I've had a white and blue Power Max Electric Prop, with the very same controller you were looking at in the plane you sat in. The manual switch on the controller is for when you are taxiing, so you can manually set the prop to corse as you taxi so your aircraft can taxi on grass without needing high RPM as it would if left in fine pitch. You are going to love it, on takeoff but specially in cruse. Well done. rx

    I love plane content more than fly content. So thanks for visit this company and do this great video! for me (!) the 915 and 916 is brainless. The economy with 100PS is amazing and not to top in the WT9. This is the future for ultralight in my mind. I fly fast aircraft too, and i know, this great! But 916 is a heavy engine with high maintenance, low TBO and much more fuel consum, this must be calculatet too. And of course, brand new engine with some bugs and much more power in a small core (1,35 Liters @ 160 PS). But maybe it’s just jealousy. You have to decide 🙂

      We can’t thank you enough for taking time out of your day & away from your family to spend with us 🥰 It really added another dimension to our visit there & made it extra special 🙏🏼 We really hope that we can see you again when we return (potentially in March for collection of the aircraft & then definitely in the future just to visit) 🤞🏼 We loved your hangar & airfield & it was exciting to see everything from your RUclips videos in ‘real life’. You are a great chap & Eve though you were lovely! ☺️👍🏼 We hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas with your family 🥳🎄

    I keep my Eurofox at Goodwood Despite there being plenty of space in the hangers, I have a ‘wings folded’ rate which makes my cost of flying much more affordable

    • @FlyingDarkLord
      @FlyingDarkLord Месяц назад

    Enjoyed your video. Have flown a Dynamic for 10 years now (DY457) and have found it to be a superb aircraft. Quiet, efficient with great performance with 912 ULS 100bhp. Will follow your purchase of a new one with interest!

      @ We considered the Shark too, but prefer the side-by-side over the tandem seating arrangement. Also when we originally spoke with them about the Shark they only had carburettor versions of the 912. I’m hoping for collection in March, weather permitting 🤞🏼 Keep us posted about your Shark, that too, is an awesome machine!!!! 😎

      @FlyingDarkLord The standard engine is still the 912ULS. Edge Performance do a fuel injection kit for it that I may retrofit later, subject to BMAA approval. There is a turbo Edge Performance option for the Shark but I'd rather have the extra usable load as its hardly underpowered as it is. I'll let you know how it goes

      The EuroFOX is more aircraft that most of us will ever need & if I never owned another aircraft I’d still be happy, but the WT9 will be a different experience & I think will be more ‘comfortable’ for Eve.

We’ve also given them a little freedom with it. I’m relieved to say that she didn’t choose orange & disappointed to say that she didn’t want blue, but she has gone for classy & understated 😮 I have to admit, that I’m not sure how it’s going to ‘translate’ in real terms, but Eve usually has a good eye for these things & so I’m hoping she’s got it right this time too 🤞🏼 We’ll find out in March!!! 😅
