All of us here at KGA would like to congratulate Ian McPherson on his first solo. Ian only started his training on October first of this year. Looks like he has given himself an early Christmas present.
Well done Ian.
KGA Flying clubs starts up!
KGA flying club starts up.
We’re happy to announce that we are launching the the King George Aviation Aviators club.
Club membership will be a resellable membership fee of $5000.00. This will enable you to fly any of the King George Aviation Aircraft for $55 per hour without minumum day rates. This means for overnight flights that you’ll pay just for airtime.
Come on in and ask us for full details.
Ultralight of the Month, The Murphy Renegade
The Murphy Renegade
If your preference is for the classic or antique look, but you’d also like some modern performance numbers, the Renegade is ideal. If you think you would enjoy following rivers in an open cockpit airplane and throwing yourself through an occasional loop or roll, the Renegade should be perfect. If you want a rugged biplane that goes together quickly, costs less than any other aerobatic biplane kit out there, and that has proven itself in the hands of hundreds of other builders, the Renegade is perfect. With a simple and conventional control system, a beefy aluminum fuselage and wing structure, a strong landing gear, and a leisurely 75-85 mph cruise, the Renegade line is the perfect compromise of fun, thrift, thrills, and safety.
Renegade Airframe
The structure of the Renegade is a blend of old and new technology, it is a conventional strut and wire braced biplane of fabric covered all metal construction. Under the Poly-Fiber fabric you will find an aluminum truss fuselage that utilizes 6061-T6 aluminum tubing mated with a unique, custom designed extrusion. All fuselage members are blind-riveted with AVEX and stainless steel rivets. The larger diameter tubes provide a fuselage with very high strength and rigidity while maintaining light weight. A fuselage of equivalent strength and rigidity, but welded from 4130 steel would weigh more than twice as much. Because the structure is a blind riveted one, rather than welded, it is very easy for even an inexperienced person to check for structural integrity and make any necessary repairs. The use of square tubing wherever possible provides maximum contact between riveted parts as well as increasing bending strength.
The tail assembly is wire braced for the strongest possible structure with minimum weight. Doublers and crush tubes are used at all wire attach points. The doublers are used to increase bearing surface while the crush tubes allow the correct tightening of bolts without over stressing the tube structure. The tail group is made of aluminum tubes and channels that have an exceptionally high strength to weight ratio. Assembly is a simple matter of laying out the materials over full scale drawings that are provided for all the flying surfaces.
Student of the month, Archie McMurchie
A native son of Ontario, Archie moved to the West coast in 1969. His Uncle, an avid pilot who always spoke of flying was the start of Archies dream to take to the skies. Recently circumstances have allowed Archie to fulfill his lifetime dream of flight. Now partway through his flight training, Archie plans to buy a plane when he’s finnished.

Visiting friends for the Bay Area stopped by to get a taste of Ultralighting. The smiles say it all!
KGA Needs a new logo
With all the changes happening here over the last few months we think it’s time for a new logo as well. So why not get some help via a contest. So here it is.
We are looking for a new logo, we would like to incorporate the following. Wings of some sort, the old texaco wings would be a good place to start. We would also like to incorportate our initials KGA. Please keep in mind that the logo will have to be small enough to be legible on a business card, yet stll look good on the back of a Jacket.
The winning design will get a 1 hour flight in one of our aircraft.
Please pm me your designs. The top three will be posted for final voting by you.
We’re having a contest
As a lot of you know the hangers here at KGA are in need of replacing. We also need a new design as the one we have now is too small for the newer planes. So I’m looking for new ideas. Therefore if you have an idea for a new type of T Hanger for the centre row, send me your design. The winning design will be given two months free rent. Contest closes Nov. 15, 2008 (Conditions apply)
