Are they a nice beast to tame or just a dog? Apart from the thrust and lift etc, how do these things fly according to the driver? This aircraft appears to fall into the price range for my nonaffordable wallet. Can't find much information on it though and not much is on the Aussie web site to satisfy my thirst for information. I have sent an email/feedback to the web administrator but have heard nothing to date. Mind you, it has only been a couple of days and it may be that he is busy pumping out these aircraft from the factory.

They havent been made for about 10 years and someone is trying to get it going again, although i dont have any progress updates on his efforts... If your more than about 80 kgs you are too heavy, they only have a 2 stroke option and there are many 2 seaters out there which may suit your needs..
