Mr Turbo Next stage, to the Pub in 10 seconds Member 2,777 Member For: 20y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: Berwick Victoria Posted 02/04/07 02:18 AM Share Posted 02/04/07 02:18 AM Just placed one of these on order!Went for a fly in one over the week end which I took over the controls and now im bloody hooked! Holding my pilots licence, all I need to to is a basic conversion and im set to go. Im lucky enough to live on some land in Berwick so it will be a great and cheap way in getting to the air from home! Only needs 10-15 meters of run up with two passengers and its flying in the air which can stay up for 2 hours. It will be delivered around 4-5 weeks which I will post up some more pics of it then.Rob... www.aerochute.com.auPerformanceSpeed - 70 - 80 KphMaxinum Wind15 - 20 KnotsMaximumTemperature40 CRate of Clumb1000 ft/MinTakeoff Roll 10 - 15 Meters Noise Level76 dBMaximum Legal Height5000 Ft AMSLMinimum Legal Height500 Ft AGLRigging Time5 - 10 MinPower PlantRotax 503 Dual Ignition Dual CarburettorHorsepower52hpFuel2 Stroke 50:1 Mix Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33802-my-new-toy-on-order/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/04/07 04:14 AM Share Posted 02/04/07 04:14 AM I would rather an ultralite or Cessna 182. I need wings, chutes are just not meant to ascend in my book.
