Dimitri DELEMARLE, editor in chief, visited us at LIERNU. With the complicity of Manu Eggermont, flying his trike,
the TWINBEE has been photographed between several showers.

José VANDE VEKEN , bound for the championships of France, has once again shown of his mastery of flying.

from among those gracing the cover of No. 292.

The TWINBEE got an enormous interest and many professionals saw it as the perfect machine for schooling.

For this "parade", the TWINBEE had been equipped with the new designed folding seats (1),
instrument panel and hub caps.

and publish a thorough article on its performances.

In mid-November, the Twinbee team conducted a series of aerodynamic tests under the guidance of
 Mr Carbonaro (von Karman Institute).




In the analysis of the images collected during these flights, the AIRFLOW technicians decided to put a small
spoiler between the two wings.
This is the latest development designed by Francois DECORTE to improve the behavior of the machine.



And on Tuesday 1 December 09, we were in Liernu. José Vande Veken, instructor and ULM champion of France,
landed after a series of test flights, "with this spoiler it's perfect! ".



The Twinbee is now ready. You can admire it in January at the "Salon de l'Auto" (palais11) where it will be shown
in world premiere.

A series of "presentation" flights will be held in March but you can already mark your interest and register to be
part of the first happy recipients of the pleasure of flying in Twinbee.

You will also shortly be able to pre-order your Twinbee.

Let's take the opportunity to thank the ULM Center of Liernu for allowing us to conduct these flights with
Jose VANDE VEKEN.
We also thank André BIESMAN, an instructor at the flying club of Valenciennes for the valuable assistance
he has provided during the first flights that were not so easy.
