The Flying Lawnmower Tent.

Here is my first attempt of flying a Thruster TST, sat next to Mr Microlight himself, Mac. By far the hardest microlight I have flown.

The flying lawnmower tent is the only acceptable name for such an aircraft

Thruster ❤

[@madeljacky]

That took me back to 1997 when I owned a TST, the sound and peddling the rudder to keep it straight on takeoff and landings I never forget, loved it at the time because there was nothing much else to fly.

[@YouHaveControl]

But they are amazing aircraft! You don't need to be spoiled for choice.

[@crisjpalmer]

Wow, this brought back memories of a flight in a T600 over Malta, some 20 years ago !!!

[@YouHaveControl]

The t600 is awesome!

[@kevchilton908]

Blimey!!! 😬

[@YouHaveControl]

It's beautiful isn't it?

Er… yeah! 😆👍

[@JoeRichardson02]

This is absolute death wish stuff

[@YouHaveControl]

I would use the term, abstract flying.

[@samcoolegliding3524]

Does it have a glide ratio?

[@YouHaveControl]

Yes. Down

[@samcoolegliding3524]

@@YouHaveControl not bad

[@mothmagic1]

However high you are is how far it will glide in a vertical downwards direction. Probable faster than it cruises too.

[@MrAlwaysBlue]

I can see the budget appeal. However technology has moved on from the nineteen naughties, and so should we.

[@YouHaveControl]

When you can buy a modern 2 seat aircraft for less than £3000 then we have moved on.

[@happee_meal8302]

yeah, moved on to light aeroplanes in all but name. Yawn.

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

You can pick up an Ikarus c72 for as “little” as £32,000.
An absolute snip which should be easily accessible to all!
