Aircraft testers wanted this Saturday, 17th November, Lasham

2160


The Robin 2160 will soon be available with EASA handcontrol for rudder and brakes.  The UK dealer is bringing the demonstrator (not fitted with handcontrol) to Lasham this Saturday afternoon 1:30 p.m. 17 November.  It would be really useful if members with different disabilities could come along to see how easy it is to get in and out of the aircraft.  We may consider operating this type in the future, as it has a reputation of being a very pleasant aircraft to fly and operate. 

 
It would be particularly interesting to see if it is accessible for spinally injured aviators.  According to our friends in France it is better than it looks, and transfer is possible onto the wing leading edge.
 
Let me know if you can come along. 
 
Kind regards,
Mike Miller-Smith
