It really is a good aircraft - easy and predicable to fly without any nasty traits. Slightly underpowered so a little thought must go into performance-planning before takeoffs on short runways.
It's the propeller pitch control handle that changes the propeller from take-off-position to cruise position. After touch down I realized that I had made a mistake by not fully putting the propeller in fine position before landing. If the prop is in cruise position on the ground the aircraft can hardly move (like starting in 4th gear in a car).
Fantastic video, Jens! I'm envious!
SWEET ! I want a 109 !

What is de motor in this one? The 2500 E standard, it took sometime for take off. 95 HP? Would the offerd upgrade to Rotax help and what does it cost.
Standard 2500 E engine is sluggish. Yes, the Rotax-upgrade would be better with the new propeller. Cost is yet unknown.
Do you have PDF english cheklist to share? We bought similar, but checklists are on german
Yes, I have the original G109 B manual with checklist in english. If you give me your email adress, I can send it to you.
What's the red T handle that springs back in for at 35:50?
