Flying the Chinook is virtually child's play. High-lift wings and low speed manoeuvrability combine to enable the little Chinook to go places the average GA pilot would never conceive.

Wt-11 Chinook

A Real Winner By Any Standards

Chinook sets up for an engine-out landing, something that presents no problems with an ultralight and is actively taught in the training regime.

One of the new generation of ultralights is the Canadian-built Birdman WT-11 Chinook.

An ultralight that simply cries out to be flown, this machine will prove to be popular with local lightweight flyers with its good performance, simple sturdy construction and rugged good looks.

There are a lot of unknowns as far as dealers go in the rapidly expanding ultralight movement As a result of this I was pleased to know that the Victorian dealer for the WT-11 Chinook was a firm that had been dealing in more conventional aircraft: and professional flying training for a good number of years and so appreciated the correct attitude and discipline required to ensure safe operations.
