- After many questions on an instagram, I have finally decided to do a performance review of the Kitplanes for Africa Safari MkIII Taildragger with a Rotax 915is 141hp turbocharged engine.
We dive into the take off performance, cruise speeds, stall speeds and also landing distance of this South African designed Bush Plane.
I think I have made the perfect choice of light aircraft because I am able to travel long distances to short backcountry bush strips without the need to stop for fuel every couple of hours.

This was one of the best general flight videos I’ve see for giving the flavor of a typical flight in a small aircraft. Well done.
David Carmein thank you sir!
You’re teasing me now ... so jealous right now
Great video, Thomas! Looking forward to coming out for a visit. Cheers!
The Safari looks to be a great plane! Hopefully see one up close here in the US. Enjoyed it. Also love the bricks if front of hangars!
Chris Jamison when you can’t find your chocks, we always have the bricks as back up haha
How much does it weigh when recording this video, my friend
Empty weight 434kg. I would say that the total weight during this video was approximately 600kg
Nice, thank you.
Very well done, mate. Kudos.
Ol Kaa thank you!
So cool!! Thanks for the great content!
Great job.
Great landing! Enjoying your channel

Thanks man! It’s a Kitplanes For Africa Safari
♥Thomas Marrow
Nice landing!
How are you finding the 915 as the Turbo has oil supply issue and now recalling the fuel pumps how can ROTAX make these mistakes ? I don’t understand how.
Just wondering was this video made before the lockdown or during, because I'm soo jealous right now because I'm not allowed to go flying due to the lockdown :( Lucky You!!
Jason Aviation was made about 3 weeks before lockdown! I’m also stuck at home wishing I could fly 🤦🏻♂️
@@ThomasMarrow Makes sense, because i got soo jealous from home, wishing i could go fly :D
And also just asking, is there a chance we can go for a flight later on through the year, or do you not do that
Jason Aviation of course! Let me know when you’re around the JHB area and we can organize something
@@ThomasMarrow That's great, I'll let you know. Cannot wait :D
What climb rate do you estimate you could get at sea level?
Josh Cawcutt I like to test it for sure without making any assumptions. There will definitely be a video though
