Thanks Mark!

Its STING TL-2000 Ultralight. We have this small plane, and a bit bigger RokoAero NG4 with glass panel on left side + steam gauges on the right side. And we have Cessna 172, but i didnt flew it.

This Sting is very light, and controls are very responsive) NG4 a bit heavier, but fun to fly too Smiley Instructor likes to scare guys like me, - that flight was recorded at first day after major maintenance (engine overhaul), so pilot said - well, lets not stress it, first day....and after that he did that dive Smiley I flew all except takeoff, landing, dive, and low pass over the pilots's friend's house Wink

You sure are lucky. Grin

I wish I could do that sort of thing. No chance for me now.

Nice one, Windy. So you saw signs of extraterrestrial life up there?  Shocked Seems like the plane allows for a great view, huh?  Smiley

Say, did the low temps harm the experience in any case? You always stayed below the clouds, but did icing or snow cause any trouble for you guys?

yeeeep, there is extraterrestrial life, or, it could be drunk tractor driver Vasya Smiley It happens here )

Sting TL-2000 VFR aircraft only, with great view. But we never flew into clouds, its prohibited.

No icing during winter, we have cold and dry air most of the time, but during autumn and spring we not flying for about a month. Because runways unclean, and there usually rain or snow + temp near 0C = > icing conditions.

Jan 3 i flew with low clouds layer at 600 ft and overcast. We did some fun and our artificial horizon stuck at all the way nose down attitude. That was something. milky snow below, merging with milky sky above with no visible boundary Shocked I said - AH stuck, pilot said - naaaah, dont worry dude,  i never use it  Grin
Hes much like Lou, flew as a line pilot all of his life, now retired and just having tons of fun Smiley

As for cold - plane works fine at -20C dry air. Engine is ROTAX 912 - is fine. We have a heater in cabin, but last time i froze insanely. There was -25C or something. So cold affects pilots not dressed well Wink Like me.

Rain and wet snow cause problems, so we not flying if its happens.

You can find our airfield at coordinates  - 56 46' 18.27'' N  - 53 11' 28.46'' E
We usualy use long and narrow runway 18\36. Pain to clean during season change. At winter we use snow runway Smiley

I forgot to ask. Which planes did he fly? Are some of those in FSX? Does he use the sim too?

Smiley There is more cool alien stuff to the west, and some sun sybol on the field itself. And a lot of it nearby Smiley)

Instructor flew Yaks 40, 42 last years. Actually there wasnt a big variety of aircraft types in USSR. Tu-134,154, An-2, 24, Yak 40, 42 - most of non-international aircraft park. He never did international flying. And he flew pretty much of everything smaller than Yak 40 at different times.
He never tried FSX, and he's unkool computer user. We darn lucky we have guys like Lou here Smiley

Just out of interest, what is an 'unkool computer user'?  Smiley

Tu-134, that's a unique one. Must have been so nice to look through the glass nose of the first models. A glass cockpit, so to speak.  Grin

I take it that - unkool computer user = someone who is not savvy with computers - or something like that. Wink Grin

windy, all that snow!  Shocked

Never gets below 25°C here in winter.

In summer, mostly 45°+ in the shade.

Unlike Cappy, who must live closer to, or in, the tropics, it does occasionally drop below 0 degrees C in winter where I live. We get snow about once every 3 years. Most Aussies say that where I live, is the coldest place in Australia. Shocked
