I know them very well and so I contacted them. They (the manufacturer) never received any email or configuration by your side.They will be happy to assist you..pls contact them I was told..
Dan, some say that STOL-planes like this makes you a bad pilot. You don't need landing skills any more, in fact you don't have to refine your skills at all, because the plane is so good. Is that true ?
I am not Dan, but I find that to be a ridiculous statement. Bush flying is one of the most challenging things a GA pilot will do. Having a plane that can land slower, just means people will find shorter places to land. In my opinion, the bad pilots are the ones that go off on the weekends for the $200 hamburger in their fancy glass cockpit Cirruses. Those are the people that get killed because they do the same things over and over again.
As a taildragger pilot, instructor, and manufacturer with nearly 50 years of flying - you are ALWAYS honing your skills! The fact that a plane allows you to land and take off in a short distance, means you will really need to hone those landing and take off skills, or end up in an accident. You now need to judge distance, angle, runway conditions, wind, rotors etc, because your magin of error is so much less. Having flown the Just Aircraft which is similar in design, I can say that it is a new and totally different landing technique, if you choose to do it. Even landing it in a normal fashion with the big wheels is different with the tire rebound, and the different landing angle. The Ultralight Flyer
DirkDucat I Andy H, don't believe that to be true. I have sest in many different aircraft and the STOL plane's have just got better. The one thing I see is (most) don't have enough manual instrumentation in them. I know that electronic today are a great deal, but elec gauges do fail and that there is redundancy. So I would like to see both, but Iam a older guy and have had to deal with (all the NEW TOYS). But I don't believe that the STOL planes make you worse or better, seat time and different conditions and weather makes you better. BUT MOST OF ALL'KNOW YOUR AIRCRAFT'AND PUT IN THE TIME! Best regards and everyone should take the ride in private aircraft and I don't think you would see so many airline tickets being brought, thank y'all and have a great time!
SUCH A Cool Little Short !
Ewow- beautiful !!!
95,000 euro complete and working on kits isn't a bad deal.
I agree but that price includes over 20.000 euro of optionals..
How slow can you go... Quite remarkable.
These guys would sell a whole lot more airplanes if they just returned a phone call or Replied to emails.

Exactly! I've sent them 3 emails asking for info that's not on their website and they won't reply

Show little knowledge of flying with this comment ...all planes have an envelope ..learn it and live
