Great - should have been done years ago. Thanks Rob, John and BMAA. The LAA on the Vne check are very keen to ensure the engine does not over-rev, and ask for a note of what was achieved. I note Rob applies full power - on some engines this could definitely exceed the red line.
Hi Dave, you're absolutely right and great advice. Engine rpm must be monitored carefully during the Vne dive, to ensure no chance of redlining. Remember you don't have to go all the way, within 5kts or 5% is perfectly acceptable.
Just test flew a new DJ-II with Sting Ray here in Florida. Similar to Cheval 12 wing I have used but better energy retention and glide and a bit heavier handling with winglets on in roll.
Hush up for 5 minutes mate. I just want to enjoy the aircraft sound, plus enjoy the scenery. Yep as a 70 something teenager, one day, I might buy one, but right now I just want to enjoy the silence, and view the scenery. Just 5 minutes, of hush, is all I ask. Thank you.
A M10 class 8.8 or AN6 bolt in double shear would take well in excess of 15000 pounds to break apart. Just change it every 400 or so hours in case there is any fatigue developing on the threads in case its installed improperly or the wear on the bolt because it is like a bearing surface on a trike. The Aluminum block around it will break before the bolt
Great example of a flight check, lovely machine. 😎👍
Excellent informative video for a lapsed pilot trying to revalidate my licence.
A good concise presentation, very glad to say my check flight pretty much matched this great walk through.

Very Good, that should help lots of owners.
Excellent video, nice trike.
Great video thanks for sharing 😊
Brilliant video very informative.
Looks great where do i sign
Did you forget 'Airframe' on both the HASELL checks?...
The 'Airframe' check would usually cover configurable items such as flaps, which the flexwing does not have.
What's the maximum speed this craft can fly at?
The VNE (never exceed speed) is 117mph. See the BMAA website for full details: www.bmaa.org/files/TADS_BM94_exodus_deltajet500_stingray.pdf
@@BritishMicrolighting and what's the payload it can carry? How many kgs? And, with a full fuel tank, what distance can it cover?

Not sure about passenger holding gloves on t/o and putting them on mid-flight..... 😬
Otherwise - great vid
They were my thoughts too! Depending on which way they go determines whether they get spat downwards or up through the sail underside...
No One ever checks the Wing Jesus Bolt, if it Breaks, you Might See Jesus rather quickly....
