My Skyranger
I
picked up my kit on Wednesday 15 September 2004, from Flylite Airsports
Ltd. who are based at Sywell Aerodrome. Flylight are the U.K. importers
and were responsible for modifying the French designed aircraft in order
to get it through the tough BCAR section S testing and certification.
The complete kit including engine was packed into 9 cardboard boxes
with a total weight of approximately 280kg.

All loaded up and
