Greetings All.
My name is Griff, I’m 29 years old, and I was born blind, and I am on the autism spectrum. Despite the obvious challenges, I have been flying for around five years. I am very interested in owning an ultralight, me and my dad have owned one before, although unfortunately, while he was flying it, it stalled during takeoff. This happened on the second flight that he took after we bought it. We are interested in either a X-Air Standard or a X-Air Hanuman. I would be interested in getting more information about the aircraft, although from what I’ve heard, I think it’s much better than the UltraLite we used to own. It’s much more forgiving. We used to have a flightstar 2 sc with a HKS 700 T engine, but it’s stall speed was very high. At around 31 kn. As opposed to the 20 to 23 kn of the X-Air Standard. I’ve also heard much less in regards to accident reports with the x-air. I have heard very few accidents with this plane. I’d love to hear from any owners, and I’d love to hear if any are for sale in Australia secondhand. I would also love to hear what the best engine choice is with either x-air model, or what experiences people have had with engines. And what maintenance looks like as well. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards.
Griff
PS.
My dad has a pilots license. But he isn’t as good at technology as I am. And I thought I would ask here. Also, flying and aircraft are very important and therapeutic for me. So it is mostly for me that we got the aircraft, but he got the license.
