Bruno's first flight in a Skyranger Nynja microlight - from Priory Farm to Cromer Northrepps

[@bruamc]

Thank you John! It was a perfect flight and the video is perfect too, a superb edition job!

Can’t beat it. Most fun with your clothes on. Looking forward to flying again next week now lockdown being eased.

I'm sorry Mr Always Blue for missing your comment! I don't know how that happened. Hope you had a great summer. I've had some lovely flights in between the lockdowns. John

I'm looking at one of these for a build project, and I see what may be a red flag in the layout of the controls. How do you handle both the stick and flaps with one hand in a go-around? Edit: I'm seeing a second one in this video: the tailcone is open to the cabin. How can you assure a dropped item won't find its way back there?

Hi. Would you like to have a WhatsApp or Skype phone call? We've just bought our third Skyranger. [e-mail] or tel: [phone]

I've read that nynja' can cruise at 109mph. Is that true and if so what rpm would that be?

[@johnfielding001]

With a passenger, I'd cruise at about 90mph and on my own, 95mph. Anything more and the fuel consumption and range would suffer drastically. At the above cruise speeds, we'd be consuming about 12 litres per hour @ 4200 revs. The cruise depends somewhat on how you set the propeller pitch. There is a trade off between take off/climb performance and cruise speed. I think we could achieve a slightly fast cruise if we reduced the take off performance. With one person, the climb rate is about 1500 ft per min. 2 POB, it's more like 1000 ft per min. I should add that our Nynja has a 100 horsepower Rotax 912S engine.

@@johnfielding001 Thank you John, you answered all my questions in one! So almost identical to the swift 2. Thanks again!

[@johnfielding001]

@@rustynuts4426 Yes. We used to have a Swift. The best thing about this compared with our old Swift are the wonderfully comfortable seats. We paid extra for the Beringer brakes which have been less trouble than the standard ones we used to have on the Swift.

Drainen immer zuerst! Sobald Du den Flieger bewegt oder zugetankt hast, ist das drainen sinnlos, da das Wasser sich wieder vermischt hat, falls welches drin war.
