A Flightstar II SC - what a cool airplane! Congratulations on getting to the Pace field. I must have flow right past it going from Blue Ridge to Danville for my Ambassador jacket. I wish I'd stopped there. I see you have a Rotax 503 engine. What rate of climb do you get with two people? Lastly, do you know Alan White? He flies two airplanes out of Eagle's Nest and makes lots of videos as "Big Orange Bird", like ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-06r201n8NNo.html. Go fly with him!
Thank you, it’s one of those planes that just makes you smile when you fly it. It has the rotax 582 blue head. By myself I get around 700 ft a minute. With two adults at max it’s about 350 ft a minute.
It is a buckeye. I do hold a valid PPL and medical from the faa. Yes you are correct, this 2 seat over 254 lbs will require at least a sport pilot cert with out a medical.
Loved the video. I have a Buckeye Dragonfly that appears to use the same tubing hardware parts as yours. Do you have any ideas of where to get replacement parts?
The bars that your feet rest on are the controls. If you want to fly left you press the left bar. The farther you press it the faster the rate or turn becomes. It adds drag to that side and let's the opposite side speed up. When landing you press both to create the flare to stop the wnig from flying and lay down. Great question.
