All Ashok Alisheril Thamarakshan wanted was to take his family for a ride. Literally.
"I wanted an aircraft that could be flown for a three-hour trip and back without the need for refueling. The Rotax 915 suited my mission, but it was a new model and wasn't available in Europe at the time. The only option was to fly down to Johannesburg in South Africa to test fly [a similar] aircraft. I was rather impressed by its performance and returned after placing an order for the kit," says Ashok.
Ashok says that he outsourced some elements of the avionics in the aircraft. "I found a company in the US to build the harness and the panel for me, and they shipped it over. I just had to install it on the aircraft and test the same. Also, I leaned in on the experience of a few others who are more familiar with the safety aspects of the build. You also pick up many skills on the way - everything is about utilizing the information available," he says.
