Flexwings are fun, but somewhat limited by the conditions in which you can fly them. We are operating Apollo Jetstars, a Hungarian built machine with Rotax 582's.

Our operating base is in the middle of a major city and about two miles to the side of an international airport. We are therefore limited to a maximum flying height of 500 feet within a closed circuit. Cross country flying is forbidden, as is carrying female passengers

Personally, I'm waiting patiently until the day we are allowed to operate fixed wing aircraft, but until then, i will enjoy the 3-4 hours of free flying that i get to do most weekends.
