On a warm spring day, an Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat microlight full-sized aircraft dropped in to Tokoroa airfield.

The A22 has clear sides and is this a "see-through" plane.

Powered by a 100hp Rotax engine, this craft will cruise at over 60knots, has a maximum speed of 100knots and a 6 hour endurance.

The other (twin engined) airplane in this video is a Dymond Twinstar. If you want a "close-up" video of that, just leave a comment on this video and I'll film one.

  • woooo CTC's CTM! I flew that plane 2 months after this video was posted...

  • @SirPlankton Nothing comes passes through Tokoroa airspace without me getting some video of it :-)

  • Another nice vid and, yes, I certainly don't mind seeing the full-size aircraft featured in between the great vids of the r/c flights... I'll have to read up on the A22 for it looks like it would be a fun one to fly (take-off roll seems to be next to nothing!). Interesting spring arrangement on the nose gear! The touch-and-go by the Diamond Twin Star (DA-42) was a nice capture, as well. Curious: How long is the runway here?

  • @texfanusa We've got 850m of sealed runway plus grass run-offs at each end giving 1100m all together. 

see all

  • @xjet G'day All...

    Well, being as I'm the last one who flew the first Legal Minimum Aircraft ; the size & complexity of the paperwork needed to play with modern "Ultralights" totally justifies my move to R/C, & Windmills, & Boomerangs...! Search '1975 8Hp Skycraft Scout' & 'V.J.-24w SUNFUN', to see what I used to levitate in... 'Autodidactic Test Flying' is interesting, & y' may like 'Aerotowing Rogallos'.. too ? Ciao !

  • Busy little place your airport...

  • Cute little plane!!!

  • dear santa... ... ...

  • Cool a Diamond! I'll be flying those soon for my Multi-engine rating at ERAU Prescott. Your videos are always a joy to watch.

  • @xjet Cool... That works out to just about what I was guessing, especially after seeing the inflight video... Thanks!

  • Landing on the Dymond was a little scary Would love a video of that too, if it hasn't had the landing gear broken by then lol
