Nic Chase (NICO) - Shropshire & Mid-Wales AO Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Ooooooh not sure about that!! Think I would rather have my wheels on the ground. Quote
TrophyJem Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Actually it was proper hot. It has doors that you close before take off. I got to fly it for a while once we were up. Different than i expected. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah spotted the gull wing doors, looks like it's a bit cosy with them shut though. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Is it a kit/home build or a regular production plane? Does look kinda fun! Quote
Norman Verona Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I have a customer who builds his own planes. As soon as he's finished one and been up in it a few times he starts the next and sells the first. I think he like the build as much as the flying. Now where have we heard that before. Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Blimey! That's a short runway! Quote
TrophyJem Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 It's a factory built plane. Ultra light class so is in the same class as a microlight. Runway is gavel. Apparently you can learn to fly one with 15 hours of flying. Oh and it's very cosy once the doors are closed. It was pushing 40 degrees. Mind you the outside temp was about 34 (Spain) Quote
pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Not for me sorry I used to hang glide but kept misjudging my landing (or crashing as most witnesses called it) I now know my limits now Quote

Interesting to watch though, Quote
pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 The one tip I would give is if your going to crash and you have a choice between A :- a field full of cows or B :- a field full of sheep Choose the field with sheep in and shout a lot (cows don't move) :( :( Quote
pistonbroke Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 plus the wheels dont get stuck in all the cow pats Quote
Norman Verona Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Ah, but wouldn't wooly sheep give a cushioned landing? Quote
