Phenix - It flies.
Just in case you would not know yet, the Phenix prototype started its flight trials on December 11, 2009. Pro memoria, the Phenix is a very comfortable side-by-side 2 seater tractive gyro, first presented during Aero 09 in April.
After a few fiddlings and adjustments, all went like a charm, and you can find a video - on our website - and on YouTube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRO03b1At7k The proto is fitted with a Wagtail rotor and hydraulic prerotator, that proved to be extremely fast to prerotate to 200 rpm. In addition, the dry weight of the proto being 293 kg, it gives us confidence that the production machine to Ultralight (Europe) standards will be well within regulations. The flight trials will then resume in early 2010, and until then... Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year :0) Alain Lederer info@phenix.aero www.phenix.aero

I like it
just looks like the main wheels are back more than they need to be.

LOL Hi Peter... Not yet: That's only the proto right now, I'll change the avatar when I - at last - get the ULM demonstrator. One step at a time :0)
