Brett dropped in to do a conversion on his new M4 with Airborne Flight Training. He wanted the hamburger with the works and His M4 included the plus package with the MGL 8.5 inch Efis full colour panel with GPS which offers engine, flight management and navigation all in one large glass panel display. Strobe lights and a VHF radio were fitted with integrated full face Flycom pilot and passenger helmets. The wing is the new XR-S strutted high performance. The BRS Ballistic Rocket System Parachute system from his traded microlight was repacked and fitted to the new machine. 

Neil Hardiman was in Newcastle for the Port to Port Mountain bike event and dropped into Airborne Flight Training with a couple of mates. It was a blast from the past for the Airborne crew, as it didn’t seem that long ago we built and prepared Neil’s Airborne Buzzard Arrow trike for his round Australia adventure. At the time Neil was a hang glider pilot and he didn’t take long to convert to trike flying. That was 1988! Fast forward to a few weeks ago and Neil who had not flow a microlight since jumped in the front seat of the schools Airborne M4 with Rory Duncan and flew it around spectacular Lake Macquarie and Newcastle. He landed with a big smile on his faced so we’re guessing he has missed being in the air. Check out the story of Neil’s epic 1988 triking adventure here. 

Ian keeps his trike hangered but at the same time takes the time to cover both the trike and wing as in the pic. Airborne also recommends that you use a spay lubricant, and apply to bolts and steel parts wiping off the excess with a rag.
