Promoting the safe enjoyment of aviation for pilots, aircraft builders and enthusiasts.
The Calgary Recreational and Ultralight Flying Club is seeking ideas to boost membership and engagement, as general aviation declines. The club's member expresses excitement about recent flying achievements and plans to attend the COPA AGM in Winnipeg. They aim to obtain a private pilot's license and encourage collective flying to Oshkosh.
Stu Simpson shifted from slow to fast flying, opting for a Cavalier airplane after facing persistent headwinds. The upgrade allows for faster travel, beating strong winds, expanding flying range, and keeping pace with fellow flyers. Though missing some features, such as the ability to land anywhere, the low costs and impressive performance of the Cavalier have left Stu satisfied.
