300lb (130kg) pilot
Le mardi 10 mars 2015 14:47:01 UTC+1, a écrit*:
That Calif glider seems massive. I'm curious about the head clearance with the canopy closed though. Quite aesthetically pleasing. I've owned a Calif for some years, done about 600h with it in the Alps. Performance (climb & glide) is absolutely the same as a Janus C, ailerons... could do with some improvement ;-) Very docile and pleasant to fly, great airbrake system for steep approaches (I once had to land in a 100 m field, trees ant the end). Lots of space in the cockpit, no worries with headspace even for 2 m people..
