A short spell of nice winter weather has allowed us to make some more testflights
of both the Flylight Dragonfly light trike and Alatus-M self-launching sailplane.
We are extremely pleased with the results of all the tests so far, both machines
exhibit ease of handling and performance (especially low sink rate). Paul
Dewhurst even managed a short thermalling flight in the Alatus, retaining
height even in the depths of winter! A new video of the Dragonfly flying has
been posted on the flexwing movies section
of the website.

Flylight have just finished unpacking after returning from one of our most
successful trade exhibitions ever. Flylights stand was once again the star
of the show, with the first public viewings of the Alatus-M self-launching
sailplane, the Dragonfly light trike, and a special suprise with the new 13m²
wing on the Tanarg (which offers higher cruise speeds and lighter roll control
than the larger wing). Interest in the ubiquitous SkyRanger was also high,
and our shop was kept busy all weekend. We took a number of orders for new
aircraft at the show, and the production schedules for the Alatus and Dragonfly
are starting to fill up for spring next year. Thanks to everyone who came
and saw us at the show; we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Flylight will be exhibiting at the Sport
& Light Aviation Show (SPLASH) on the 24th and 25th November. Not
only will we be taking the ever-popular SkyRanger
and Aeros brands, but this show marks
the first ever public unveiling of the Alatus-M
motorglider and Dragonfly light trike.
Fans of the Air Creation Tanarg can expect
something a bit special too! Come and see us at the show, and bring your chequebook!

Details on the new ZJ-Viera single-seat
fixed-wing have been placed on the site. The Viera realises a return to the
grass roots of microlighting, emphasizing fun and enjoyment over out-and-out
performance, whilst still maintaining a reasonable touring ability thanks
to the 4-litre per hour fuel consumption in the cruise. Utilising the latest
composite technology allows the aircraft to be phenomenally light and strong,
all at an extremely competitive price tag.

The latest order form for the Alatus-M
self-launching motorglider have now been posted. This now includes a basic
instrument package, although custom instrument panels are available on request.

please call us for more details.
