  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

And now for the less impressive numbers...

Per the factory web page:

Empty weight is 370 kg or 816 lbs
MTW is 600 kg or 1323 lbs
Fuel capacity is 140 liters or 37 gallons, so...
Full tanks hold 105kg or 230 lbs by weight.

It's an ultralight, so I'll cut it a little slack, but still, with full tanks, that's just leaves room for me and a small bag for a weekend getaway - forget taking a passenger.

For sport flying it should be a lot of fun, but not all that practical.
 
This looks fun, but I have the Got Friends Vertigo if I want a fast, light Garmin GA plane.

If it ever goes 50% off on an OrbX sale, though, I'd pick it up for $10 for sure.
