      Bellissimo e molto economico, con il semplice profilo Gedeelskj. Nel controllo prevolo, non ho visto o notato il controllo degli alettoni

    Hi, cool flying....I like your colour Scheme, it looks like you are fling very slow. I have a Bantam and would love a Quicksilver, can you land any slower than 20mph ?

      @@Dsoginventor I bought an MX in 1982, one 20 minute flight talking to an instructor on the ground, the MX I had was a single seater. Flying it was very simple. There were many people flying MXs At Lake Elsinore then, most had the minimum instruction. There was one incident when one sales guy didn't use a two way radio for the first flight, the young woman had been given instructions on the ground then just took off. She immediately became disorientated once in the air and wasn't sure where or how to land so just kept flying round till she ran out of fuel, the MX did a series of stalls and recoveries till she sort of landed on the wheels, bending a number or tubes in the process. The girl wasn't at all phased by the incident, got the bent tubes replaced and our sales guy talked her via a two way radio through her first flight. She was a tough young lady to have gone just about straight up after that incident, it must have been frightening. There was some other dangers around as there was a runway for light aircraft and bigger planes taking up sky divers. She had actually 'landed' close the main runway area.

    • @johnwoody9505

      I flew an MX in 1982, it was a simpler version than the one shown. No steerable nose wheel. The foot pedals operated 'flaperons', there were no ailerons, the joystick operated the elevators when push/pulled and the left/right operated the rudder. There was a brake pedal that pushed a metal flap directly on the tire. The 1982 model had an extremely short take off roll, 17 yards in still air!! Great to hear the engine, not sure if it was the 1982 version. The 1982 version had a Cuyuna 440 cc Snowmobile engine. It was so easy to fly. I had no flying experience but my first flight had to be a solo flight, no two seat planes available. My flights were at Lake Elsinore around May-June 1982. To speed up pre flight checks, I painted all nuts and bolts with a thick strip of nail varnish onto the tubes, it would then be obvious if something had moved or come loose. Great memories.
