FEATURES:
The L29 Delphin - Following his test of the L39 Albatros a couple of months back, Bob Davy completes the set with the L29. A jet that is truly within the reach of PPL, it combines the performance of a Spitfire with the price of a complex single
The Citation 500 - Most PPLs have, at some point in their flying career, looked at a business jet and wondered whA it would be like to own one. Geoffrey Boot takes the Citation 500 - the first in this venerable series of Cessna jets - for a trip and draws a comparison with his own Cessna 340 twin piston aircraft
The Jet Provost - Aerobatics in a jet are different to those in a piston single. But how different? Ian Seager finds out from a member of the leading UK Jet Provost display team just what is involved
COVER FEATURES:
flyer's Europa Workshop - Work on FLYERs very own Europa is progressing well. This month we report on the state of the wings, as well as doing a bit of thinking ahead: if we're going to have VOR reception, now's the time to think about installing it
Jets now and in the future - To tie in with our features on jet aircraft, Miles McCallum takes a look at jet engines and how they work. In addition, he discovers how the GA industry may be seeing more jets in the near future. How about a single engine, six-seat homebuilt? It may be closer to becoming a reality than you think!
