Lola meets Ohlala



Time to see what happens when Ohlala starts flying. After that long beautiful fall day in the woods near Calden we took our new Cockerspaniel "Ohlala" for a ride in Lola. Knowing that it was bumpy, noisy and absolutely unusual we truly had expected a very nervous and uncomfortable puppy in the plane. But nothing like that. Curious and easy as if flying was the only thing Ohlala ever did, she enjoyed that short ride into the cold November day. Our new family member earned her first Wings. Approved for further take-offs!

Frequent Flyer

We have a new frequent flyer member!

A chocolate brown English Cocker Spaniel. She has no idea yet being a privileged member of our crew, even though flight school will start soon...

Well, honestly ... and we have no idea how to learn a dog to fly.

So... Write down all your experiences. Tips.
And let us know which head set you use for the dog. Cause there's a lot of ear on this Cocker Spaniel...

High Pressure



The Turbos of the Twin Comanche transform the brave IO-320 engines into 2 high performance, 25,000 Feet and 200 Knots fast hot rods. But they need good caring, especially around the 2 or 3 major air leakages. One of them is the turbo box, which moves a little flap inside the box and needs to be very airtight. Well, see above how it looks when being tested with a new seal on the kitchen table and waiting to be intensively tested in FL 200.
