While poking around the hangars that were open at the RAANZ flyin at Masterton, I came across this interesting microlight which was a neat surprise. It is the Bennett Condor ZK-CON which was built in Wanganui by Bill Bennett, and first registered on 15/12/09. It started out as a Minicab but Bill added a 500 mm fuselage extension, then he enlarged the cabin a bit. Then he added a Vans style undercarriage and a cut down Alpi 200 canopy. It is powered by a UL Power 260i motor of 100 HP and it flies very well according to Bill. It is now based in Masterton and is flown by Bill's son Mike Bennett. Sunday, 13 March 2011
