    love KFAs, my first fixed wing was the Explorer, with 912. The questions here is the reliability long term. Power is good, but for how long. Great video Thomas, as always.

    Flown a KFA Explorer in Germany. Brilliant plane. Sold it to Sweden to finance a new Explorer with IS engine, Buffalo landing gear and carbon parts. Fully certified as a factory built 600 Kg. microlight / ultralight plane in Germany and other EU countries.

    Do you know of any flight schools that rent out the KFAs? I'd like to try fly the explorer on my next visit to Joburg later this year.

      We have a flight school at KFA called Bushflying Africa. We can do some flying with you but unfortunately due to insurance restriction we do not do HF. We can still have a lot of fun.

      Yet another design derived from the Wright Flyer Mk1 - give credit where it’s due!

      Dean deserves the credit . This a lot different from the Wright flyer.

      Shows you know nothing about Chinese ability to make engines. I've been using them for a decade in my models, and they last forever.
