An interesting concept, but even its home web site has very little data. No stall or cruise speeds and very short flight times. The batteries look expensive and need to be replaced after several hundred cycles. Is there any support in Australia. Local support is important. What are its capabilities in less than perfect conditions? Will you be able to fly in a 30kn wind? Wind at altitude is often well above the speed on the ground.

 

I reckon you could pick up a second hand 2 stroke Airborne trike for the same cost. Greater endurance.

 

It depends too on your flying objectives. With a 2 seater, you can take a passenger.

 

I hope someone can give you some specific experience. You are asking in the right place.

Thanks for your information. The whole concept seems to have a grey area. anyway will keep on looking for something suitable.

 

Cheers Noonsio.
