    Subject: Newbie Questions?
    From: Gerry Visel <gcvisel@gmail.com>
    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! Gerry Visel

    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. http://youtu.be/DltfEwTEIq0 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. JG
