Hello all the Pipistrel Sinus went through the GFA
system without any problems at all, it has the same
requirements/conditions as the normal "Ultralight" versions with the
exception of an extra 100 placards.... EVERYTHING and i mean everything
now has a nice sticker telling you what it is..... By all reports
its going well in the GFA system wit a few flight around Grafton of
more than 3 hours.... Michael Coates Anthony Smith wrote: The Pipistrel Taurus certainly looks to be an interesting aircraft. However the Sinus, Virus and Taurus are designed to an ultralight spec. I have heard that there were difficulties trying to get the Sinus / Virus certified as motorgliders through the GFA (as opposed to certified as ultralights). Apparently the GFA only accepts aircraft designed to JAR-22. There were some pretty big weight and speed limitations imposed on the Sinus / Virus if they were to be registered as motorgliders under GFA. (I may of heard wrong here).Anyone know any details? I've yet to get hold of Michael Coates to ask him what the story was and ask whether the Taurus would ever be redesigned to meet JAR-22. I'd certainly be interested if it was. Perhaps even a kit for a non-self launching version. I wonder how well the Taurus spins? ; ) Anthony |
