I get a new PeaBee to fly. Mark Hilton, my CFI asked me to fly his new MicroMaintenance demonstrator but is it different or better than mine. Being asked to fly someone else machine is always a bit scary as you don't want to break it. I was nicely surprised at all the new additional touches that Ben Ashman at Flylight has added, the hand throttle, the panel battens and the support strips down the sides of the frame were the ones I noticed.
In flight it felt the same except for the slight additional bar pressure in pitch but other than that, it was perfect. I still came down with a silly grin.
