brynwood partners , blue wolf , morgan stanley and saw mill also raised private equity funds .
first , there’s the numbers . generally speaking , private equity investors like sentinel will take cash flow over revenue—something the franchising world does especially well . a key metric to determine how well is “return on net tangible capital . ”
“we like companies that are high free cash flow . we don’t like very capital - intensive businesses . one of the reasons we like franchising is because it’s not capital intensive , it’s a very asset - light business , ” said lobel . “so you take a look at the ebitda minus the capex and divide it by the net tangible capital utilized in the business . if that number is at least 40 percent , we get interested , and if it’s not , our interest wanes . ” ( that’s gross earnings and capital expenditures in finance speak . )

as every investment is different , the needs of investment companies are also different . newk’s , for instance , was one of those big small businesses that was well run , but needed capital to build runway for growth .
similarly , during a 33 - month investment in massage envy , sentinel oversaw the opening of 2 , 015 locations in another growth - focused push . and when sentinel took a majority stake in tgi fridays , a major part of the investment thesis was refranchising corporate locations , which accounted for 40 percent of the restaurants .
since founding sentinel in 1995 , lobel and his team have watchfully grown a number of investments in the middle market , creating infrastructure and building them up for a good return .
if an investment passes muster , it’s right to work on the investment thesis . lobel said once the management teams and sentinel agree on a path forward , they move quickly .
fazoli’s was a different animal ; a former private equity firm had already “effectuated the turnaround” of the once - troubled brand . so sentinel is focused on growth and building a few company stores .
before his interview , sentinel’s founder and managing partner david lobel explains the careful destruction of a neighboring building . he said he’s watched workmen slowly demolish a building , floor - by - floor , for months .
that same careful planning and methodical execution is plain to see across sentinel’s franchise investments . brick - by - brick the firm has constructed and renovated across the industry , as seen in the accompanying chart—that’s a lot of bricks .
sentinel has touched many franchise systems on both the franchisor and franchisee side , including massage envy , tony roma’s , fazoli’s , yum brands , checker’s , church’s chicken , newk’s , and it currently has a majority stake in tgi fridays .
: before the closing , management and sentinel developed a detailed plan to quickly and seamlessly transition to a standalone business . together , we recruited a talented cfo and promoted a highly experienced manager from the u . k . as head of european operations . we also developed and introduced the new global
iep technologies
brand . in addition , sentinel recruited a chief transition officer to help manage iep ' s relocation to new facilities in the u . s . , germany , and the u . k . while iep ' s management team implemented a new global it system .
following a successful transition to a standalone business , and having significantly increased both revenue and profitability , iep was sold in september 2015 to hoerbiger group , a leading european provider of compression technology , drive technology , and hydraulics , in a highly successful transaction for both sentinel and iep ' s management team .
breaking up the locations into regional pods , they sold the pods to mostly existing multi - unit operators . first , sentinel took the lead , teaching executives how to make the large transactions required in the plan , then turned over the refranchising to tgi fridays . with that tactic , the company went from about 400 corporate locations to just 55 .
sentinel targets lower midmarket private equity investments in eight industry sectors : aerospace / defense , business services , consumer , distribution , food / restaurants , franchising , healthcare , and industrials . we are interested in working with outstanding executives and helping them build successful businesses . when entrepreneurs and company executives consider a private equity firm , we believe their decision should be based on :
it’s been a rarity at sentinel , but as franchisees took advantage of a refranchising at tgi fridays , so too did lobel when he got into the pizza hut system in 2008 with a 123 - store purchase from yum brands and a seasoned operator at the helm . the business grew through acquisitions to 224 restaurants before ultimately being sold to another private equity firm in 2012 .
headquartered in chicago , illinois , colson group is the market leader in the design , manufacture , and distribution of casters , wheels , and related hardware products . colson maintains the premier position worldwide in caster technology . colson’s products comprise a wide range of casters and wheels , including light duty , medium duty , heavy duty and super heavy duty used in industrial , commercial and institutional applications . colson’s manufacturing and distribution infrastructure is the broadest in the industry , with 35 facilities located in 15 countries . colson’s branded product portfolio is recognized as the highest quality in the market , which is critical for end users for whom the cost of failure is high . sentinel acquired colson from pritzker family trusts . jay and bob pritzker orignially acquired colson in 1953 . under the pritzkers , colson became the worldwide leader in caster technology and today offers its customers the most complete line of industrial casters . through its shepherd hardware subsidiary , colson also offers cutting edge mobility solutions for the retail consumer market .
in this 2010 file photo , zackrey duncan peeks at sydney adams atop a playground tunnel built by the chattanooga - based playcore company .
this story was corrected to note that this was the fourth acquisition in as many months .
staff photo by dan henry / the chattanooga times free press - 6 / 21 / 15 . construction continues at the imagination station in collegedale , tennessee . the playground has won playcore ' s inclusion national demonstration award so that children with disabilities can use the facility as well .
after acquiring four other play and recreation equipment businesses in 2016 , playcore holdings inc . started 2017 with yet another business buyout on monday .
the chattanooga - based playcore has bought worlds of wow , a denton , tex . - based designer and developer of indoor , themed - play environments .
worlds of wow was started 12 years ago by reagan hillier , who agreed to merge his business with playcore holdings this month . worlds of wow has grown to a 40 - employee company that produces play stages , equipment and designs in a 20 , 000 - square - foot facility in denton , texas .
under the ownership of playcore , worlds of wow will continue to operate as its own business , developing projects for churches , malls , family entertainment centers , offices and recreational centers .
we ' re excited about this next step for the company ,
hillier said monday after completing the sale of the business .
playcore is an amazing group of growth - oriented companies and we are looking forward to being a part of their business dynamic .
terms of playcore ' s latest purchase were not announced . but it is similar to nearly a dozen other acquisitions playcore has made over the past couple of decades of other playground , sporting goods or recreational equipment makers and distributors .
we are excited about this latest addition to our play division ,
playcore ceo roger posacki said in a statement .
our company ' s heritage was built on play , and the acquisition of worlds of wow allows us to expand our service in the indoor environment , while greatly enhancing our overall portfolio .
last year , playcore bought online distributor byo recreation in st . augustine , fla . , musical instrument maker freenotes harmony park in durango , colo . ; open - shades producer porter corp . , in holland , mich . ; and knorr systems , which offers a wide range of aquatic equipment and services from its facility in santa anna , calif .
certainly , acquisitions remain a key part of our growth strategy ,
said richard ruegger , senior vice president and chef financial officer for playcore .
these purchases have helped to expand our distribution in some markets where we haven ' t had a lot of presence and its also gives us some custom - themed capabilities that will be a nice add - on to the existing playground businesses that we have .
playcore , which was founded in 1979 , has grown to a holding company with 20 brands that encompass several categories of recreation , including play , aquatics , site furnishings , indoor and outdoor fitness , and spectator seating .
to house the 125 workers the company employs at its chattanooga headquarters , playcore is preparing to move into its own headquarters building , now used as the headquarters for fsg bank at 531 broad st . fsg sold the bank building last year for nearly $ 5 . 4 million to harbert realty of birmingham , ala . , which will lease the structure to playcore , which plans to move into the building by this summer .

the woman behind the success of taco bell’s doritos shell is taking her mastery in mind - blowing flavour combinations to the tgi fridays restaurant chain .
stephanie perdue , taco bell’s former chief product marketing officer , had led the team that designed doritos locos tacos , which helped refresh the brand as a late - night must for teenagers and adults alike .
since 2014 , taco bell has sold more than 1bn of these tacos , whose shells are made from doritos chips dusted with the iconic nacho cheese favor . now tgif will be hoping to steal some of the magic .
“tgi fridays has a long history of creating firsts in the industry and i look forward to continuing that tradition by breaking the status quo , ” ms perdue said in a statement . “i am thrilled to help write the next chapter for fridays as we reimagine the brand for both team members and guests . ”
“casual dining , including fridays , needs to be more imaginative and differentiated , especially around product innovation , ” added tgi fridays chairman and ceo john antioco . “fridays is determined to distinguish itself from the category…”
while the broader food and beverage industry has ramped up efforts to appeal to increasingly health - conscious consumers , ms perdue’s approach has stood in stark contrast , opting instead for fun and innovative ideas . she also led the introduction of taco bell’s breakfast menu , which now competes with mcdonald’s .
what’s next for tgi friday’s then ? let’s hope it’s a skittles chicken breast or coke - soaked salad .

) , but were not integrated into one , unified company . utc decided to divest iep because it was a non - core asset . key iep functions including operations , finance , it , insurance , and benefits were handled centrally by utc , leaving iep unable to operate as a standalone business . to function independently , iep needed to :
relocate out of utc facilities in the u . s . , germany , and the u . k .

the methodical , precise nature of the work seems to speak to him , maybe delight him . the meticulous approach is his approach .
“when you focus on the lower end of the middle market , many of these companies are big small businesses and what we’re really trying to do is make them small big businesses—all the resources of a big company but they just happen to be small so that we grow into it , ” said lobel . “we find that many lower middle market companies need more foundation , infrastructure before they can actually run fast , so that’s one of the things we do . one of our investment strategies is to put that in place so they can run . ”
every investment thesis is a little different , but lobel said there are a few things he looks for right away in a prospective acquisition target .
then , unlike the many small private equity firms grabbing up small brands across industries , lobel said he seeks the advantage , sustainability and defensibility of category leaders .
“we like companies that are leaders in what they do . because we’re in the lower end of the middle market , we’re dealing with relatively small businesses . when guys come to us and say , ‘we’re tackling a gigantic market and we have 3 percent market share and we can grow forever , ’ it’s not that interesting to us because it means there are big players out there and they’re swimming with sharks , ” said lobel . “we like to be the big boy in the market . ”
before jumping on an investment , lobel said vetting the management team is also critical . a good businessperson may not thrive under a private equity arrangement , especially if they’re looking for work - life balance .
“the private equity model is basically to empower executives , give them a lot of autonomy but in exchange for that , a lot of accountability , ” said lobel . “we want entrepreneurial - minded , equity - oriented executives that are really trying in their own way to establish personal wealth by taking a risk—not having a cushy job with lifetime employment and a nice retirement package . ”
“we’re trying to accomplish something significant inside the space of five years , and it goes pretty quickly . believe me five years goes very , very fast , ” said lobel .
“new senior executives had to be hired , new systems and controls needed to be put in place , new computer infrastructure , new it infrastructure . we saw that going into the deal and we knew that unless those things were done , the company would not be able to grow rapidly and keep control , ” said lobel . “that became part of our investment thesis : grow deliberately in the first 18 months , not supersonically , while at the same time retrofit the business with infrastructure to support aggressive growth in chapter two . ”
a big part of the tgi fridays refranchising thesis was something lobel learned from three investments on the franchisee side of a company . “one of the truths in franchising , it’s almost axiomatic , is that franchisees operate their units better than the franchisor operates them itself , ” said lobel .

there are actually two new aeros wings out in the last year . onne is the sting ray 12 of coarse and the other is the still tl 17m . i have a customer from tucson that will take delivery on the still tl next week . aeros has been working on these two wings for some time now . at this point , they ' re geting them certified which take time . both of these wings have been through many , many hours of flight testing . i have order froms and performance specifications for both of these new aeros wings .
thank you all very much for getting me through my cpl , mep & meir . i really enjoyed all the training and found everyone at aeros to be friendly , professional , highly skilled and knowledgeable .
1996 . a new , kinpostless , era in the history of hang gliding began . hardly the snow melted , but aeros has already completed flight trials of a new design – stealth 14 kpl . by the end of the year the wing was ready for certification in england and there appeared a small ( a tiny ! ) model stealth 12 kpl . while designers and pilots were busy resolving a complex of
kinpostless
problems , motor wings gave stable income to the enlarged staff . in the course of a year 220 wings of stranger type has been manufactured and the aeros ' staff expanded to 30 employees . aeros was noticed not only in the western europe – within a year two distributors appeared in the usa , u . s . aeros , dealing with hang gliders and sabre trikes , dealing with trikes .
thanks leo , that ` s the info i was referring to on aeros . com , but no one seems to have own experience . . . there is one flying in germany ( antares ma - 35 carriage ) .
i suggested this to aeros in 2010 . they replied that thy tried it but recommended to mount the engine straight in the centre . though , i am quite sure that an angle / offset would solve most of the problem .
you ' ll find no prices are quoted here , as this fully depends on the order , and the price range is very wide depending on what you are ordering . at aeros we will custom - build a trike to your specifications .
2006 . after lots of work and extensive test flights aeros releases the combat l 2006 . for lightweight pilots , combat l 12 with reduced wing area is designed . since this year , discus glider is available in all sizes , including discus 12 and discus 13 . the discus c becomes available for those pilots who are keen on high performance , light weight and easy handling all in one . for flight school instructors and just everyone who wants to fly a tandem , aeros creates a tandem hang glider target 21 . aeros launches the serial production of our first kingpostless trike wing profi tl . in addition to all the best features of the profi , the profi tl has higher trim speeds and better , even more responsive pitch and roll handling . aeros produces an aerotowing launch trolley with simple and reliable design . skyranger becomes the world champion again , and it ' s the first time in the fai history that the same plane is the world champion for four times .
hello , i am aiming at ant with fox13 tl in december or perhaps in the winter time of 2017 / 2018 . i am at 195 lbs , and thought that more power would help . i have found out that aeros is testing a new engine with its ant ( corsair black bull ) . its a 35 hp power plant . does anyone know anything about this unertaking by aeros ? ? ? i think i would preffer air cooled , than polini the thor 250 . thnx
actually you can download a pi sd - card image for arm and an outdated x86 iso from february 2012 . we will update aeros for the public only step by step because it is mainly done to have something nice for aresone computer systems available at
i trained full time at aeros nottingham , completing my ppl over the course of 4 - 5 months , attending propilot full time ground school in coventry & then returning to nottingham to hour build and complete a cpl / mep / meir . i then concluded training in dublin , getting an mcc / joc at simtech . shortly afterwards , i successfully passed the ryanair assessment process & begin a tr on the 737 - 800 this april . last month i just passed my line training check with ryanair and i am now based at east midlands airport for the foreseeable future as a first officer with the company . i am very grateful for all the quality and professional training aeros provided me with & would absolutely recommend aeros training to anybody passionate about a future career in aviation .
at present the company aeros exports its products to 43 countries of the world without the cis . of course , we have lots of plans , and that explains why it took us so long to appear on the web . just absolutely no time for keying !
to be able to carry out the training in a brand new aircraft but still at a much lower cost than a seneca or diamond star was also a major plus point . aeros have a first class aircraft to accompany the industry known first class training that they provide .
established in 1986 with bases in cardiff , coventry , gloucester , nottingham and doncaster , aeros has cemented its reputation as the uk’s leading modular flight training school . we are open 7 days a week and have the knowledge , experience and courses to suit all aviation requirements .
“we are excited to reveal production is underway on the 555 - ft [ 169 - metre ] long ml866 , and committed to achieving faa operational certification for the first deployable aeroscraft in approximately five years , ” said igor pasternak , aeros ceo , in a press release .
i would highly recommend aeros to any prospective student wishing to undertake commercial pilot training . in terms of the quality of flight instruction provided , student support , and utmost professionalism , i believe that there is no better place to learn to fly . i would like to extend my thankfulness and gratitude to everybody at aeros who has helped and supported me throughout flight training to achieve my dream of becoming a commercial pilot , and i would also like to take the time to wish any future students the best of luck as they embark on their path towards commercial aviation .
, and the first two hundred kits were produced by sinairgie . in 1998 it ' s manufacture has been moved to aeros . here we put into the skyranger all experience and knowledge of our aviation engineers who before worked for antonov design bureau and added to it even more zest .
whether an estimate for an annual inspection or a pre - purchase survey for a completely new acquisition , from a 50 hour check to an issue of a certificate of airworthiness , aeros engineering can help the aircraft owner and operator to make good , well informed decisions about their investment .
in 1992 stalker - 14 proved to be quite successful , i . e . well - marketed , so it was prepared for certification with bhpa ( uk ) . the staff was increased up to 15 employees . aeros was mostly dealing with management then , not with hang gliders manufacture .
i actually told sergey at aeros how he can fix this issue ( torque related turn ) on his trike in 2008 . he listened but he obviously has not adjusted the thrust line or may be this trike is older . plus bmw may turn the other way than rotax 91x series .
now , aeros team consists of about a hundred skilful professionals . they are all aviation enthusiasts and fully realize the importance and the responsibility of their work . hangglider assemblers and professional test - pilots oleg bondarchuk and sergey semenov are the members of ukrainian national hg team , and many other employees are pilots who fly hanggliders , paragliders , sailplanes , trikes and ultralight planes . aeros is constantly developing and creating new wing models , which is absolutely necessary now , as the ul aviation itself is changing quickly , and new ideas , technical solutions and tendencies have to be traced all the time .
california - based airship maker aeros has announced that production has commenced on the aeroscraft ml866 , the world’s largest aircraft . the blimp has entered a ‘design freeze’ , with the company now focused on building the airship’s patented buoyancy system , called cosh ( control - of - static - heaviness ) .
all the instructors and operations staff have a genuine interest in the careers of all of their students and they are all 100 % committed to achieving excellent pass rates . the link with flybe is a fantastic opportunity for any would - be commercial pilot to aspire to . i would highly recommend aeros !
aeros engineering holds easa part 145 , part m , subpart g & i and bcar a8 - 25 approvals . we can support and manage any light aircraft , from the private owner to a small aoc operator , including easa annex ii , whether the aircraft is manufactured from metal , wood or composite materials .
hello , i am aiming at ant with fox13 tl in december or perhaps in the winter time of 2017 / 2018 . i am at 195 lbs , and thought that more power would help . i have found out that aeros is testing a new engine with its ant ( corsair black bull ) . its a . . .
if a customer wants to have some other engine mounted , a new engine mount can be designed for him . the
aeros 2
trike with rotax 503 and rotax 582 is known at the us market as the venture 500 and the venture 600 . a venture report by dan johnson has been published in the ultralight flying of may 2000 .
i visited all the integrated schools but was concerned i would only be a number in a big regimented system . i wanted to be trained as an individual at my own pace with a dedicated instructor . i found this at aeros , passed my courses first time and now have money left to pay for a type rating to get a job . and no debt !
alexander voronin , maxim drobyshev and elena ostakhova are planning to show the aeros nano trike ( ant ) in oshkosh next week . you can see them and the ant at the aeros stand in the ul area . the ant ' s with 36 hp polini and 26 hp corsair engines with fox 13 tl , combat t and discus t wings will be displayed and flown . these are nano light soaring trikes with folding landing gear . everything breaks down into two bags that can be carried in a compact car . if you are going and you are interested in nano ' s and soaring , you should check it out . i went to snf and flew the ant / polini / discus . it was a lot of fun . urltoken
frank you should report this back to sergey . he listens to positive input . he modified the batten chart based on my findings nearly a decade ago . the original batten chart had heavy reflex in the center and higher camber in the tips . this would be a nice improvement on the aeros carriage . or he could go with a fully adjustable mount like the revo .
1993 . the previous year was not slumbered away and manufacture became more stable – over 50 stalkers were made , and to satisfy demands of not very big pilots a small model stalker - 12 was developed . dacron and lavsan versions of stranger were finished . new training hang glider student - 16 was designed and built . first representatives of the company aeros appeared abroad – in the uk and in spain .
by taking one of our basic models as a reference , you can order either just the trike , the trike with an engine , or a complete trike ready - to - fly , including a wing , a rescue system , and instruments , flight tested by aeros factory pilots . you can also order a trike as a kit for assembling it yourself , this is how our trikes are supplied to the usa .
after much deliberation aeros was my chosen school to carry out my flight training . it was actually quite an easy decision for me . it was the most cost effective way for me to do my training while not compromising on standards . i got 1 to 1 training throughout . there prices are transparent with no hidden costs . i completed all my training in minimum time , once completed i was offered a job as an instructor . i took this opportunity with both hands and was keen to progress . i quickly became the chief flying instructor at aeros cardiff teaching up to and including commercial flight training . this was a fantastic foundation for what i now do . in november 2015 i was offered a job as a first officer with flybe and all the experience gained helped me massively through my type rating . i have just completed my final line check passing everything first time !
capable of carrying close to 60 metric tonnes in cargo , the ml866 follows successful testing of a half - scale prototype called dragon dream in 2013 . if all goes well with the full - size ship , aeros plans to build even bigger aircraft down the line . the proposed ml868 at 230 metres long would dwarf the already huge ml866 while carrying up to 181 tonnes . another future concept , the ml868x , may carry payloads over 450 tonnes .
we , at aeros can also offer various instruments installed on our trikes . standard instruments include barometric instruments , variometer var 10 , altimeter vd 10 , speedometer us 150 and compass ki 13 . we can also mount the engine unit monitoring instruments as follows : electric rpm meter , water temperature , cylinder head temperature , exhaust temperature indicators . this whole set can be replaced by the electronic unit manufactured by brauniger : iq motor or alpha mfd which will show all necessary data .

hi all , as the profi tl seems like an
oldie but goldie
wing , i ` m wondering why there is nearly no information availlable regarding the new stingray . . . even the manufacturer has only issued a hidden factsheet on their webpage . urltoken i think it will be hard to boost business . . . or maybe aeros just wanted to show what is possible today , but has no commercial interest to sell these kind of specialties ( like the former profi tl 11 ) . would be interested in any kind of information . marc
i notice that the trim speed of profi tl varies a lot when delivered from factory . franks wing did 120km / h ( 75mph ) in slow position and marcs first wing did 112km / h ( 70mph ) at fastest trim . that is a huge difference ! my wing did 100km / h ( 62mph ) in slow position and 150km / h ( 93mph ) in mid position . i have not dared to try the faster half of the trim range but it feels like the wing will speed up heavily there . i checked the battens to the batten drawing and they where ok . aeros suggested that i rotate the rear mount for the trim mechanism 180 degrees . this move the trim range 30mm back on the wing keel . then it will have aprox 110km / h in mid position , and be very slow in slow position . . aeros also suggested i could try and rotate the wing tips to the + 3 position . this reduced the speed with almost 10km / h ( 6mph ) any ideas what makes these big differences between new wings ? what do you think about moving the trim mechanism 30mm to the rear ?
but one cannot survive producing hang gliders only , so in the very first year of the company ' s existence its specialists launched hang glider ' s safety parachute down , a prototype of which was german canopy psr . it was also decided to explore other spheres of ultralight aircraft . fathers of paragliding theme were originally redesigned copy of a hang glider airwave black magic ( here called
the parasol
) , which was popular in the west , and the first independent creative work – paraglider zig - zag . at that time aeros ' staff consisted of not more than a dozen enthusiasts .
utilizing a professional approach of aircraft engineering , the application of certified materials and up - to - date technologies are the domineering characteristics of all aeros products . the load - carrying frame of our trike is made of rectangular tubes of aircraft alloy d16t 60 x 40 x 2 reinforced by a rectangular tube 54 x 34 . 5 x 2 ; the seat frame is made of the tube d16t 32 x 2 . 5 . all load - carrying fittings are made according to aircraft technologies of tubes and plates of 30 hgsa steel . this work is done in close cooperation with the antonov factory and aviant kiev plant .
i also fly an aeros 2 with profi tl and have the same issue as marc . if you refer to the link below ( not my trike or video , but for your reference ) you can see the tendency . skip to 6 : 10 ( take off ) and 8 : 15 ( climb ) and you will see the nose right tendency and the bar displaced to the left on climb to maintain straight course . i definitively have to reduce power after take off to minimize the nose right tendency . i am planning on adjusting engine offset in the future to see if this helps cure the nose illness . urltoken
i finished my flight training with aeros in january 2015 , with a complete frozen atpl and first time pass in every single flight skills test and atpl written exam . after a year of intensive job searching , i am now proud to announce that i have been offered a full time position with flight calibration services , as a calibration pilot ( first officer . ) i will be based in the beautiful location of goodwood , south england , and i will be operating a fleet of piper chieftain and diamond da42 aircraft for the purposes of ils calibration / inspection , as well as the inspection of numerous other ground - bases navigational systems . i believe this is an extremely exciting and unique opportunity for a commercial pilot , and i am very much looking forward to transitioning into the commercial aviation industry as a working professional pilot .
tony , you are missing it . the thrust line and trim tab make the carriage fly straight . when the carriage is straight the wing billow is equal and the trike flies straight . so you put a trim tab on you right wheel pant and make your p & m fly perfectly straight at one speed . pick 80 mph . your front strut will be perpendicular to the horizon at this speed . or choose 100 mph . but the trim tab will only work 100 % at one power setting and one airspeed . with an offset thrust line you can be at 100 % perfect at every power setting and with a trim tab and offset thrust line you can be at 100 % at every power setting and every speed . not to put down the p & ms , but if there is anything i don ' t like about them is that they have so much pfactor . i ' m sure it ' s something you can get used to and become desensitized to , but really when you are used to an aircraft that flies straight , something that is
slipping
during every takeoff is really annoying . the airborne is the same thing and obviously the aeros as well . my point is there is a fix . cessna is aware of it , cirrus is aware and revo is aware . what ' s the question here ?

1994 . anniversary stalker - 14 no . 100 was made ( dispatched to england ) . model stalker - 12 was granted bhpa . but what about paragliders ?
as the company had little own experience in paragliders ' manufacture , a decision was taken to start production of designs of a famous company àðñî : starlite , astra , supra . these models were not the newest ones , but they fit in excellently for the cis market . all - in - all over 80 paragliders were made , experience was acquired and production was organised . at this stage a framework decision was taken – to manufacture all aircraft only of high quality materials and parts . for some mysterious reason in most cases these were imported goods : fabric of a german company polyant , ropes and wire products lindemann , plastic and special parts finsterwalder , paraglider fabric carrington and gelvenor . full - scale production of harnesses for hang gliders and paragliders .
and we did not wait long for commercial success to come , within a year 80 wings stranger has been sold .
2002 . discus glider , which is our first intermediate wing , is designed and flown . it combines a rather high performance with simple piloting and maintaining , that makes it a perfect wing for those who do not take part in competitions , but wish to experience the joy of soaring .
2003 . combat l , that is lighter and better than its predecessor combat 2 , is designed . a great future is foreseen for this glider . skyranger becomes the world champion for the third time .
throughout training i have been fortunate enough to pass all exams first time in the minimum hours required . after which i was able to secure employment offers from more than one operator within two months of finishing the course . as i approach my first recurrent simulator check for flybe i can wholeheartedly say that working for such an innovative carrier really does make the commitment to flight training worth it .
i couldn’t afford an integrated course . however with the money earned from three jobs and the generosity of my family i could just pay for the much less expensive modular courses . i received good value and first time passes within three months at a flying school that provides real personal tuition .
easily the best ( very best ) flight training outfit i have ever flown with . every part of the experience was excellent from the aircraft to the staff ; who are all exceptionally helpful , patient and very understanding , they all went far beyond what was expected . i will definitely be returning to complete my instructors course .
our students receive one - to - one instruction , this allows us to tailor every course and deliver our unrivalled 100 % first series pass rate . we have graduates flying all over the world with airlines such as british airways , emirates , ryanair , flybe , easyjet , swissair , norwegian and many more .
reminder : safety directive 017 first published on august 5 , 2014 . make sure that your glider is safe

some news about combat gt 12 . 7 and combat c 12 . 7 hang gliders . . .
here ' s the story told by the luckiest trike pilot ever . ( english and french versions )
satisfaction of the most varied demands extensive experience of designing hang gliders allowed our specialists to develop a wide range of wings for trikes of all weights . agricultural applications and air promenade , patrolling and passenger or load transportation to hard - to - reach places , training or flights for fun . . . no matter what the reason for your becoming airborne , we ' ll offer you the best suitable wing for your specific purpose .
minimum problem at adaptation to existing trike designs remarkable feature of our wings is a variety of designs for different hang point junction types and control frame height . when ordering a wing for your trike , just choose a design suitable for you . this will save your time and money .
warning ! trike wing is a component part of a trike design and cannot be used without adjustment with the trike by hang point junction , control frame height and control bar location .
the design of all basic models is elaborate , adjusted and ergonomic . for example , the folding pylon makes it possible to one person hang the wing on the trike without anyone ' s assistance . with the idea to increase reliability and safety there is a safety cable inside the pylon . the main landing gear of pyramidal shape combined with automobile shock absorbers makes it possible to fly from and land on unimproved fields , increases safety on rough landings , makes steering much more comfortable .

no ! aros hosted ( here in form of aros broadway ) uses less resources than any desktop manager for linux offering the same functionality .
so in fact it is faster . especially on slow arm systems aros hosted will blow your mind .
- more drivers ( printers , scanners , nic , videocards and more - you are able to run every linux app including wine ( which enables the use of windows ( tm ) apps without the need of windows ( tm ) ) - aros - developers can use linux development tools - aros apps can utilize linux tools to enhance there own functionalitiy . - single aros processes can be forced to run on a single core .
- fast desktop , maybe the fastest on linux - allows you to run aros apps and games too , most of them come from amiga and have a low footprint . you will like how fast they are . - allows you to use janusuae - an integrated amiga emulation . . . classic 68k amiga apps can be used in coherency mode

in addition to running 169 metres end to end , the ml866 has a wingspan of 53 metres and stands 36 metres tall . when built , it will be capable of a maximum speed of 222 km / hr , with a cruising speed at 185 km / hr and a maximum altitude of 3 . 65 km .
while it’s definitely exciting to think massive airships like the ml866 will soon take to the skies again , it’s unlikely we’ll get to go along for the ride any time soon . the aeroscraft blimps are intended for cargo transport purposes only , with vtol ( vertical takeoff and landing ) capabilities specifically designed to enable the lifting and deployment of heavy payloads in environments that don’t have runways or other forms of critical aircraft infrastructure .
unlike the infamous breed of mid–20th - century airships that used highly flammable ( and thus extremely dangerous ) hydrogen for their lift – most spectacularly demonstrated by the hindenburg disaster in 1937 – contemporary airships use helium , which is less buoyant but a lot safer .
the ml866’s buoyancy control uses a system where helium compression can be increased or reduced depending on the scenario , enabling the airship to be heavier - than - air during ground operations or lighter - than - air during flight , with its makers likening it to a “flying submarine” in terms of its manoeuvrability .
exciting stuff , provided ongoing helium shortages and pricing issues don’t spoil the party for these promising - looking innovations .
there has been growing interest in lightweight trikes in the last few years . they even got their name nanolight for been extremely light compare to conventional trikes . they attract pilots for been as portable as possible - the nanolight trike can be folded up to fit in the back of many cars , the entire aircraft can be de - rigged and stored at home with minimum time and effort . some pilots fly them just to have an alternative on normally non - soaring days , others to open up new soaring opportunities .

hi all , as the profi tl seems like an
oldie but goldie
wing , i ` m wondering why there is nearly no information availlable regarding the new stingray . . . even the manufacturer has only issued a hidden factsheet on their webpage . . . .
welcome . i think the wing is still too new and there isn ' t a whole lot of feed back from pilots yet .
frank , some questions about sting ray . what do you think of the different sail cloth options ? for the leading edge there are three options mt170 , px10t and pe10 . which one is best suited to the leadinge edge ? with mt170 we can choose colour but does the others work better ? and what is the difference between pe10 optic and clear ? for the upper surface one can choose pe10 but also two other materials , wich one is best ? are the winglet same as on profi tl ?
not sure about the mt170 . i ' ll find out . the px10t is a hard leading edge fabric , like a trilaminate . it ' s white with black fiber stripes in it . there is a better version of this called a px10t uvp ( better in the sun ) . there are several versions of the pe10 but basically it is a top sail fabric . i like the nvc grill cloth for the top sail . if you go to my website there is a fresh new picture on my profi tl with the nvc topsial . urltoken . if you can text me , i ' ll text you back some photos of these patterns . frank dempset , 505 - 269 - 5075
