A regular fly-in (rally) of the L-40 Meta Sokol owners and operators took place at the airport
of the Aeroclub Vysoke Myto on 11 July, 2009 and at that occasion the
Aveko company
held the First VL-3 Sprint Fly-In.
The total of 17
VL-3 aircrafts
met there, when 9 of them arrived from the Czech Republic, 5 from Belgium, and singly from France,
Poland and Luxembourg. The mother company has carried out free services of their aircraft there.
A navigation and precise flying competition has been set up for all attended aircrafts, which consisted of
a flight along defined route for specified time limit with locating objects from photos on a map and
rating of landing accuracy. Individual scored items were praised by up to 120 points in accordance with
meeting of given criteria and the maximum total gain was 360 points.
To surprise of both organizers and competitors, the top amount of points was gathered by crews of two
aircraft at once, namely Polish one with Mr. Bryzgalski as a pilot on the VL-3 aircraft and
Czech one of Mr. Králíček with the L-40 aircraft with as high score as 320 points and
a head start of 80 points to the third crew of Mr. Dhaene from France with VL-3 aircraft.

VL-3 in Sebring, USA
The Gobosh Aviation
unveiled its Gobosh 800XP luxury sport aircraft at the US Sport Aviation
Expo in Sebring, Florida, USA, which is a trade name of the VL-3 LSA aircraft for
the american market.
Such as the Czech type designation suggests, it is the VL-3 aircraft modified to fulfil
LSA category requirements. Namely
lower staling speed has been achieved by increasing of the wing span and redesigning of
the wing shape; also fixed landing gear and on the ground adjustable three-blade
Aero ELPROP propeller from carbon composite have been installed.
The X in the name Gobosh 800XP designates an all-glass cockpit
equipped by the electronic flight information system Dynon EFIS-D100 supported by
selected Garmin components. The P means installation of the ballistic
parachute rescue system.
Qualified pilots may use the 800XP Elite edition capabilities to fly Day
or Night VFR. The top model 800XP Elite+ offers luxury leather seats,
Bose headset jacks and GPS navigating system Garmin 396 with XMWX capabilities,
which allows the pilot to see real time NEXRAD radar overlays, wind speeds, and
temperature maps along with the weather forecasts in the surrounding area in real time.
The Aero-TV has brought an interview with representatives of Gobosh Aviation,
Tim Baldwin and Dave Graham about introducing the VL-3 / G800XP aircraft on the American market.
