From Sebastian Golze of Berlin, Germany:
"I enjoy very much reading the news on your website even though my personal flights so far have not left Europe. But this way there are adventures left to dream about. Through flying I got the idea for an it startup project. I developed an Iridium satellite datalink device which brings worldwide datalink to the cockpit at a price well below any existing solutions. Here in Europe the main use is datalink weather radar as we have no WX or ADS-B but besides the device provides live worldwide METAR/TAF, live logging of a flight on Google maps and two way SMS communication. Features which are nice to have in Europe but they seem even more desirable when crossing oceans. Maybe my new project could be of any interest to the Earthrounders community."

I am looking for information on crossing the North Atlantic from Canada to Greenland on VFR only. We have a Supercub in Portland Oregon we want to ferry to Kenya. Fitting IFR on one of these machine does't make sense. Looking at the Canadian gov. requirement, I understand that one has to be equipped for IFR, but microlight have done the flight.
There must be a loop hole to allow us to do it. If anyone can help it will be great. It will be a pity to put the aircraft in a container..

My name is Domen, I am a friend of Matevz Lenarcic, the extreme pilot who flew around the world with his Microlight Sinus 912 in 2004. Mazevz decided to sell his aircraft, reason is new project.
I am in charge of selling the airplane.

Details:
The aircraft is located in airport LJSK ( Slovenske Konjice ) - Slovenia EU http://www.aeroklub-konjice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=55
Airplane is currently airworthy and the owner is flying with him.
There is no outstanding issues or mechanical problems with the airplane, neither equipment, everything is working perfect See attachement.
Airplane was always maintained by Pipistrel, which is important fact.

Details for the engine:
Rotax 912 ULS recommended TBO is 1500 hours now extended by Rotax to 2000 hours. But normaly this engine runs 3000+ hours, specially with Pipistrels as normal operating power keeps very low 50-60% RPM 4000-4300 100kts cruising speed. The engine was tested at Pipistrel in 2010 and it's in very good shape.

Autopilot:
Two axis Autopilot is TuTrak Digiflight II VS http://www.trutrakflightsystems.com/products/Digiflight_II_Series.htm

Cockpit instruments:
Nesis 8.4 was installed by a company which is producer of the instrument, company is Kanardia. http://www.kanardia.eu/en/nesis.htm
Nesis is very reliable and modulare, expecting to get more and more features.

In case you require further information, please feel free to contact me:

Message from Douglas Cairns:

Hello!

I'm just about to set out on my next diabetes flying project, Diabetes Polar Flight, which will set a speed record from Barrow, Alaska to the North Pole, any time from Sunday 17th April onwards.
This is going to be a terrifically exciting project! Details are up on www.diabetespolarflight.org where you can follow progress via a Spidertracks GPS tracker link, and two-hourly Hompeage updates via satellite phone relays to Karl Beetson, our technical support man on the ground in Barrow.
As ever, the aim of this project is to highlight that diabetes need not limit the scope of people's dreams and ambitions, and to raise funds for diabetes research. T his is the third project supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation www.jdrf.org.uk which aims to find a cure for type 1 diabetes, and through research support can also help improve the lives of up to 30% of people with type 2 diabetes (who use insulin) as well as type 1 diabetes. Last year we raised over $24,000 during www.diabetesflight50.org and with your help, we would love to raise more this year!
If you would like to make a donation, we'd be delighted if you log onto the Just Giving Link below - all donations go direct to JDRF. www.justgiving.com/diabetespolarflight
Also, if you know of anyone with diabetes, please do pass the website details on.

Many thanks indeed from the whole Diabetes Polar Flight team, Karl, Deb, Mel and Alan!

Wishing you the very best,
Dougie

Back in the late 50's, I met a man in Japan who was getting ready to take off on the last leg of his flight around the world in a Beech Bonanza. He was sponsored by a lubricant. He never made it to Midway and was never found.
Now...have you any idea what his name was? He called himself the "FLYING DUTCHMAN"

This is a very inspiring site. I am interested in sharing the trip/expenses of a the RTW flight or some parts of a RTW flight with another pilot. I am a 45 year old VFR pilot (900 hrs) with a Grumman AA5B. Thus will like to pair up with a pilot who has an IFR rating and a plane with a longer endurance. So far my longest trip has been Boston, Massachusetts to Fairbanks, Alaska. I am a physician based in Boston and fluent in English and Hindi.
Please contact me if interested
