Subject: | Newbie Questions? |
I'm looking at a Mark III Classic, with which to get my LSA ticket.
I have 50 hours toward my private 30+ years ago, but now the kids are
grown and gone and its time to fly again. I was looking seriously at a
Quad City Challenger II, but am leaning more toward the side-by-side
layout of the Mark III as a training aircraft.
Can anyone compare the two as a trainer aircraft?
The one I'm looking at has a Rotax 618 engine, which is no longer
sold. Should I stay away? Any major issues?
Thanks for any feedback!

Gday All,
Here's a short video of unloading and rigging my Firefly and flying from
Brian Ranch Field near El Mirage lake bed, CA.

This is a very active ultralight field, with about 60 aircraft hangared
here. Mostly Quicksilvers, but Bob in a clipped-wing Firestar dropped in
from his private strip nearby. I had a brilliant day climbing up to
10,000ft over the San Gabriel mountains to get a view of the Los Angeles
basin, (and that's as close as I want to get)...... Could see all the way
to Santa Catalina Island. Still climbing 200fpm.
