Looking Back

Hi, I have been with 'free to adventure' since, well basically the beginning. I remeber about 5 or 6 months ago being invited by mark, an email correspondent at the time to join this marvelous site! At the time there were only about 15-20 members! It's incredible going from a small site to a HUGE one with over 300 members. I have been to numerous sites and spread the word of 'free to adventure'. I remember the day I met Mark, it was in April (I think) and i went out to my airfield, also mark's,… Continue

Flying the blue success (so far!)

I have been following the free to adventure page for a long time now. And this flying the blue adventure is a great one!! Mark, Maximus & Tjeerd really have something to be proud of. I helped mark and maximus dissasemble the trikes 2 days before they left, this involved, changing a gaskit (On Tjeerd's Gearbox), Removing the wing, folding the wing, getting the trikes on the trailers and last but not least, packing the spares. I am glad to see they are having a good expedition. Keep it up guys… Continue

Hello again Ross,

Currently, the company that produces the Pterodactyl doesn't have a website. It's DFE Ultralights. If you send me your email, I can send you a copy of the price sheet.

Most certainly Ross.

This first link is a very nice resource with plenty of old newsletters (they're really entertaining to read), building tips, history, modifications, etc.

This second link is a wikipedia article to the exact model of plane that I have:

Enjoy,

Hi Ross, Thanks for the comments, I have only been flying since 2002, and because I am a Gerry-triker, I relish every moment that I have in the sky. I will prepare some pictures and comments for a future contact.
This is a great site, I have thoroughly enjoyed the videos that I have downloaded, Cheers...Keith
