G'day Motzart Merve! Mate I was working those rudder and aileron controls they were nearly at the end of their workable range that day. But I will be putting a new video on Utube soon of my Skyranger with the new HD 120 degree sports camera I've purchased.

g'day mate! Does the 230 have a similar flying feel to the 160? I'm flying 160 at the moment and thinking about buying a 230. what are the advantages of the 230 over 160? nice vid.

@yeu7nuoc7viet G'day mate! They both fly quite well. The 230 gets along a bit quicker and has a different feel in the circuit. However, I'm not a fan of the Jab motor. I have bought a kit Skyranger Swift and a Rotax 912 uls to go with it. Flies even better than the Jab, and can still get about 85 to 90 kts in the cruise.

Nice video..Good job.. (rudder and aileron co-ordination needs work)

@THEMAN080 Yup crosswind notice how after lift off he points the nose to the left to counteract drift.

Very nice Video. There are a lot of People on the other side of the globe waiting for the first video from your next project. Best regards from Estonia.

Yeah I was thinking of just creating some straps for my camera and hanging it on the headset holders. Might look into your method as well :) By the way, seen the start up of your Skyranger, Rotax engine sounds beautiful! Thinking of saving to buy a Preceptor Super Pup with a Rotax 503.

Yeah it was more for the benefit of theman. You were right in suspecting a crosswind. I used my yokemount for my garman 296 which I don't use for the gps. I clamp the mount to the 230 frame just behind the flap bar that goes across the cabin roof. I think the 160 is similar. I did my training in a 160 and 230. I am currently building a Skyranger, check out my other videos.
