Un mot sur la préparation du voyage (les pays qui acceptent les ULM sur leur territoire ?), le choix de la route, l'équipement, etc ?

[@wseucan]

Do you belong to JMB or was this a private project?

[@DanFrederiksen]

It seems to be one of the best ultralights in the world, certainly for the price but there has been a couple of accidents with flat spins where the pilots forgot to pull the chute as well, during stall training. Does it have some stall characteristics that pilots should really know? a procedure to get out of flat spin. Is it prone to it or were they just not great pilots? (which certainly happens, they failed to use the parachute for one). Pronounced pilot error seems to be the only reason planes crash

[@DanFrederiksen]

if the 2nd passenger weight was used for fuel instead could it fly directly from UK to USA?

[@michaelwatson9849]

It ends with drinks and driving, ya I want to buy a plane form these guys.

[@russellesimonetta3835]

A pair of glasairs,,, nope! That was 1980!

[@DanFrederiksen]

What's the optimum altitude for range?

[@lobere]

Bravos tout simplement génial voler jusqu'en Amérique du Nord avec ce VL3, qui seras distribuer au Québec Canada par Avion Rou-Air Inc ULM.

[@patb686]

C'est très plaisant à savoir merci à toi!

[@lesizmor9079]

Oshkosh controller: "Welcome flight of 2 Lancairs to Oshkosh" then --- "Welcome 2 Glasairs to Oshkosh". VL3, the plane with 3 names. And counting..... Esqual, Lightning, Gobosh, Sport Cruiser, Technam Sierra, Evektor, SportStar........

[@DanFrederiksen]

Those are not all the same plane though

[@garrygballard8914]

Hey guys, your US map here is incorrect. Where you listed Lansing is actually Chicago., Lansing is in the middle of Michigan on the lower Peninsula. Lol.

[@iamaranger328]
