Feel-Good FLYER

2008-10-05T12:03:01Z

Ever met someone you instantly liked? The MD3 Rider is one friendly yet .

By James Lawrence

Someone recently told me that all LSA are 'fun' and pretty much fly the same. That notion challenges my beliefs. Everything in life is subjective, even scientific observation. And if you're the least bit sensitive to your environment, you'll probably agree that any vehicle, just like any person you meet, has a distinct feel and personality. Call it the Mazda Miata vs. VW Beetle syndrome: Every ride has its own ineffable feel.

My bias was reinforced when I made my first flight in the MD3 Rider. I didn't know exactly why initially, but I immediately felt at home in the friendly little airplane. The Rider comes from European sport aircraft maker Flyitalia (www.flyitalia.it), based near Milan, Italy. Designed by celebrated Czech designer Jaroslav Dostál, the S-LSA, which received ASTM approval in April, is conventionally built with an all-metal semi-monocoque airframe and aluminum skin. We'll get to the design and construction in due course.

MD3 Rider is noticed in the article about this year Sun'n Fun airshow:

Making its american debut at the show was the Italian-built MD3 Rider. The all-metal, semi-monocoque, high-wing aircraft is built by Flyitalia and distributed by Space Coast Aviastion Services Inc., from Sharpes, Fla. One of the LSA's options is that it can come with folding wings and tail for simpler storage.

Recognize that tail? You've seen it twice before on designs that earned Special Light-Sport Aircraft approval: Interplane's Skyboy and FlyItalia's Sport Rider. Designer Jaro Dostal's signature is the shark fin vertical stabilizer. Skyboy is sold in the U.S. by LSA America. SportRider (MD-3 Rider in Europe) is not presently available in the USA. *** Now from the fertile mind of Dostal comes the Shark. It will be produced by Comp-Let, a producer of composite parts for many companies including Diamond, Aeropro, and FK Lightplanes. Jaro's design bureau is leading the development effort. "SportShark will fit LSA rules with a larger wing, simpler flaps, fixed landing gear and prop," declared Comp-Let. "We are finishing the aerodynamic design calculations (forces, structure, stability). Designers prepared a cockpit mockup. We have started to work on a fuselage model. The plan is to fly a prototype by spring 2008. Serial production will start gradually by summer." Shark is but one example of a new LSA as the industry continues its acceleration.

PILOTES: MD-3 Rider, Le biplace polyvalent

2007-03-05T16:13:38Z

Récemment arrivé sur le marché bien encombré des ULM biplaces, le MD-3 Ride se place en milieu de gamme. Sa technologie métallique ľéloigne des machines en tubes et toile. Sa silhouette rondouillarde, son train tricycle fixe etses haubans le maintiennent a distance des machines en composites, rapides et sophistiquées. Le but de ses concepteurs est de proposer un ULM "fiable et durable, polyvalent et confortable, performant, agréable et sécurisant". Qu'en est-il? ...

PILOT 8/2006: Jak se létá s letounem MD-3 Rider

2006-09-28T11:55:07Z

Díky přímo řízenému příčovému podvozku nečiní pojíždění po zemi žádné potíže, musíme jen respektovat výše položené těžiště hornopošníku a přizpůsobit rychlost pojíždění stavu plochy. Ovládání plynu je v základní verzi tahovou šroubovací vzpěrou, takže lze jednoduše a plynule nastavit potřebné otáčky, abychom nemuseli bojovat brzděním proti tahu vrtule. Brzdění je nicméně jednoduché centrální ruční pákou mezi piloty.
V rámci kontrolních úkonů před bezpostředním vzletem můžeme využít fixovanou polohu parkovací brzdy a v klidu zkontrolovat vše potřebné...
