Review of the WT9 Dynamic Light Sport Aircraft or Microlight with Rotax Engine

- There was a time, not so long ago, when the only way you could get Eve onto an aircraft was with the use of alcohol and/or drugs. Since we have had our EuroFOX, she has become a more willing passenger and occasionally reports enjoying our flights together.
Imagine my surprise when, at the Popham Microlight Trade Fair in 2024, she announced that she ‘loved’ the WT9 Dynamic that was on display there.
So it took very little persuasion to accept an invitation from LX Aviation to visit them to review their WT9 Dynamic demonstrator.
Keep watching to find out what we thought!
We would like to thank Allan Melmore and John Delafield for their time and patience. You can contact John through his website LXAviation.co.uk or on his mobile 07960 685739, and say ‘Hi’ from us! Their 914 Turbo glider-tow demonstrator is currently up for sale - Act quickly!
We would also like to thank Michael Blomfield for his inspiration, enthusiasm for the WT9 and video footage of his retractable undercarriage version. You can check him out on Instagram @wt9_speed or visit his UA-cam channel ‘The Flying Dynamic Kiwi’.

Thanks for watching! Join us on our next little adventure!
Geoff and Eve, that was beautifully put together. A great review, well done.👌
Well sir! It was you that inspired it & for that we are very grateful.
The WT9 is exactly as you described it, truly amazing… but I guess you already know that 😄👍🏼
Thank you so much for the footage of your aircraft which we included in this video. We remain ever jealous of the setting in which you fly! 🤩
I have to agree. Superb and amusing commentary and well put together! Thank you for sharing.
@@nigelovens8110 That’s very kind of you 🙏🏻 Thank you so much! 😊👍🏼
Well I can’t wait to show you in person, hopefully sooner rather than later!😉👌
@@michaelblomfield1504 Us too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 It is something we are very much looking forward to 🥳
Why did I miss this one, brilliant stuff. You've gone on about this for too long now Geoff, just do it! BTW my wife just walked in while your intro was playing, I think she thinks I'm into some sinister evil cult stuff 🤣💀
😂 you are in the aviation cult! You have been indoctrinated now & you can’t leave even of your own free will!!!
Thanks so much for watching & commenting.
I remember us looking at the WT9 when you did your presentation at the Private Flyer Fest 👍🏼
There are other aircraft I’d like to have a look at, but it’s certainly a strong contender! 😄
….. “ZOW”….. What an exceptional video Dark Lord & of course, Dark Lady …….😮
Concise, riveting, informative, superbly researched, professionally presented, a “Dynamic” performance in every sense of the word !!
( even to the calm pauses when drowned out by the overhead aircraft !!😜 )
An impressive performance from aircraft & presenters , well done guys 👏👏
Only ‘ down side of the video’ …….
…….. your ‘ bum is burning’ mate, ……. Cos methinks you is out 200 grand VERY VERY soon !!! 😝😉😅🤣 ……!!
( please,sir, can I have a go,…. can I sir…..pleeese ??? ) 😂
Very well done, guys……
Keep ‘em coming,sir
Captain Ray 👨✈️
😂 I’ve been to every questionable organ dealer I know & even tried to sell my body on the street, but sadly I just can’t raise those funds, despite wishing with all my heart I could!!!
Would even have had Eve’s blessing, but sadly still out of my reach! 😭
Thanks for your kind comments though Captain Ray 🙏🏻👨🏼✈️
A very good and detailed review Geoff and Eve. Well researched and nicely put together. I wonder if you will be approached by some of their competition for comparison reviews? 😊😎
As always sir, that means a great deal to me coming from you 🙏🏻
Thanks for taking the time to watch it 😊
We would certainly be very open to doing something similar for other aircraft manufacturers… Let’s see what happens 🤞🏼
Beautifully done, Geoff and Eve. Haven't seen you in a while and it was definitely worth the wait. I hope others catch on that you have great natural chemistry together and you get to review more products 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 you are too kind! 😊👍🏼
We quite enjoyed making the video & hope that other manufacturers feel inclined to invite us to do something similar 🤞🏼
We’ve learnt so much from doing this video that, if we have another opportunity, we aim to go from strength-to-strength with our production 🤞🏼
It’s great to have you onboard & see you back for another video. Thank you sir 🫡
Ooh, the addition of a waistcoat! Bowler hat next??
😄 It’s what I normally wear on a day-to-day basis, but I usually ‘dress down’ when out & about, or when making UA-cam videos, as it seems to ruffle people’s feathers. Even my family are amused at me always wearing a tie! Recently though, I’ve thought ‘stuff it’, I am who I am & I’m just going to roll with it! 😄👍🏼 And, if it didn’t put me at risk of public alienation, I’d even consider a Bowler hat!!! They look cool, imho! 🤩 Thanks for watching & commenting 😊👍🏼👍🏼
Great review Mr & Mrs Dark Lord!
You are, as always, a gentleman sir!
We really appreciate your support 😊 Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻
You need one of these!
😄 Eve is very much inclined to agree with you! It’s the first time my wife has been pushing me to consider another aircraft.
I feel like I’m ’cheating’ on my EuroFOX just by flying another aircraft 😄 The EuroFOX is an exceptional piece of kit… but then so was the WT9 🤔
Thanks for watching & also for leaving a comment 👍🏼
That was very good and interesting. Lots of talk of international flights, comfort, speed etc. Will it be au revoir to the Eurofox..............
😄 certainly if it was up to Eve, she would have us switch to an aircraft of this type!
The EuroFOX is just such an agile & responsive little beast though. It handles soooo well & it’s my dream setup, with the colours & avionics I’ve always wanted!…
I really don’t know 🤔… watch this space, I guess 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for coming back for another episode though 🙏🏻 It’s great to have your continued support 👍🏼
Also grateful for your comments & feedback.
Geoff & Eve,
How very professional you guys are in doing this brilliant review of a brilliant aircraft.
It's nearing the end of the month for checking my Premium Bonds...dreams are wonderful.
Take care.
That’s very kind, thank you 😊
We keep scratching those lottery cards, you never know 😄🤞🏼
We feel so lucky to have what we have, but it’s nice to have other dreams 😊
We really appreciate you watching & commenting 👍🏼
Avjazzle?!!! Whatever you’ve been smoking I want some 😂. Reckon LX should be giving you one of those beasties for free after that marketing effort for them. Looking forward to seeing one in bright blue with a DARK LORD logo on the cowl parked in a hanger at SV. You might have to kick Mark out though 🤣
😂 well, 🤷🏻♂️ artistic licence! 😄
Sadly, I don’t think that sticking a couple of videos on UA-cam will carry any weight with the manufacturers… having said that, I have secured a couple of free T-shirts 🥳👍🏼
I know Eve would like to consider a new plane & I’m not adverse to the suggestion, but I don’t want to leave SV & I’m not sure if our budget stretches quite that far! 😄
Gorgeous aircraft, but I must say I fancy the high wing planes more 😉
It’s amazing to see the contrast between the high & low wing aircraft!
That low wing obscures the amazing view you get in a high wing, but also changes the handling & performance in a way that I had not fully appreciated. Two very different animals 👍🏼
Seems like the question is more when rather than if you will get one. ;-)
😂 I think Eve has an agenda… but it’s not often I find myself in a position where my wife is actively interested in me investing even more in my ‘hobby’… should I be kicking against it?!?! 🤷🏻♂️🤔😂
Quick Geoff, hide your wallet 😂
😂😂😂 She’s a bad influence, but in a good way! How many other wives would encourage you to buy a different plane?!?
Thanks for coming back for another episode! Good to see you again 👍🏼🙏🏻
