What level of training do you recommend prior to flying a Belite?
We recommend recent tailwheel proficiency in a similar aircraft, such as a Cub or Kitfox. If flying our Trike, recent experience and proficiency in a Cessna 150 would be helpful. 17) Why do some models have a covered fuselage, while others have an open frame, reminiscent of an ‘Airbike’? A: I like the open framework, and I can’t personally feel any difference on the flying qualities. Also, the open frame requires substantially less work to finish. It’s also lighter, which was absolutely imperative on our ‘Superlite’ model.
