But with today's pandemic, one can get a "Virus" stuck in their "Sinus", which seems rather a poor public image... Just saying... Fr.

If so maybe they could be higher quality, which would definitely take the jump to the deluxe.

It's a closed-cockpit microlight, quite similar to the Flight Design CTLS you get in the standard version, and both are powered by the Rotax 912.

August 12, 20205 yr I see that the Virus has a service ceiling of 22,300 feet, and the Sinus has a service ceiling of something like 28,900 feet. (!) Holy hypoxia batman. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

Back on topic, the Virus is actually a really good aeroplane. Has an optional ballistic recovery chute, can tow gliders, is approved for spins and next year there'll be an electric version going into production too. Pretty versatile thing. Rubbish name though, which is why the Indian Air Force and Navy who have them as trainers, call theirs the Garud, after the Hindu and Buddhist Sun Bird. Which is a much better name and is also where the Garuda Indonesia airline name comes from. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

August 13, 20205 yr I'm guessing they thought the joy of flying the plane would be infectious so therefore called it the Virus. but not really the best name imo especially now. | Dave | I've been around for most of my life.
