Welcome to Coastal Adventures


		TL Sting 2000, Star 96 and Condor- The TL Sting 2000 is manufactured from Carbon Fibre. It is a furiously fast microlight aircraft and yet it can take-off and land in the same distance as a Trike. It cruises comfortably at 280 km/h and stalls below 65 km/h. The aircraft was introduced in South Africa in April 2003 and within the first month 4 aircraft were sold. The Star is the fore-runner of the TL Sting 2000. It has the same comfort and visibility of the Sting at a slightly reduced price. The Star is manufactured from fibreglass and therefore is slightly heavier and slower, but still cruises comfortable at 220 km/h. The Star was designed and built in the late 90's. The Condor is a conventional top wing, that is ideal for training and glider towing certified. The factory is in the Czech Republic and builds in excess of four aircraft each month. With the completion of the new factory in December 2004, this quantity will double, reducing the waiting time for anticipated buyers.

		*Dynaero* - The MCR range of aircraft is the result of 20 years of research by Michel Colomban and modern manufacturing techniques developed by Cristophe Robins' Dynaero in France. The all carbon range of aircraft consist of three two seater aircraft; the VLA which is amazingly fast and manoeuvrable cruising at over 300km/h, the Club which has a bigger wing which makes it easier to handle and ideal for training and the ULC which is a proper microlight with cruising speeds up to 290km/h and very good short field capabilities. Then the MCR 4 S which is a 4 seater powered by a 100 Hp Rotax engine and a usefull load of 400kg. This amazing aircraft can cruise comfortably at 270 km/h using less than 20 l/h. There are 3 ULC's and one 4 S flying from Europe to South Africa and will be in South Africa middle of October!

		*FINANCE & Insurance* - We are absolutely delighted to inform you that we have now been able to arrange full finance and insurance on the new Sting and the Star models. The basic offering would constitute a combined package for you, in terms of which finance on the aircraft is approved, plus the aircraft is insured in-house with the financiers. Even more unbelievable, the commission that you would have paid on the insurance, is instead fed back into the deal to give you a better interest rate. The annual insurance premium is also financed, in that you get a better rate since you pay annually. Furthermore you have an aviation card which is now linked to any fuel company, and can also be used cross border for any aviation related transactions including hotels, spares, landing fees etc. This allows you to control and monitor the costs of operating your aircraft, especially where you claim tax benefits from the aircraft. The Condor is a conventional top wing, that is ideal for training and glider towing certified.
