It is good to be back, Rob. Thank you

I have followed links on both of these lists and found them to be dead. Does anyone at all provide tailwheel instruction in a school aircraft?

Also, why is a GA aircraft (a Tigermoth) included in...

I am looking for an exciting hour with an instructor for my re-validation. I don't like re-val experiences just to be a formality. I want to learn something new and preferably in an aircraft I have...

fascinating....in part, as others have said, because it is very largely the Dragonfly...but also because it shows how the re-tract works. I think I...

Is that a tribute to WW1 prop deflectors, which protected props from machineguns fired through them?

our doors are held on with them, Bob, and we have always called ours nappy pins

Thanks so much, John, that is incredibly helpful. The pitot and static arrangement looks just like ours, and as we don't want to be re-calibrating, I reckon we'll keep ours as it is.

Thanks very much, Paul and David.

We have been told that our pitot tube is incorrectly mounted and that it should be nearer the leading edge of the wing. Where exactly should it be?

All I know is that the opening should be into...

excellent advice. Thanks, I agree

Thanks Ginge and Martin, will try the 90deg turn next time.

thanks Dave, particularly like the star washer idea. Many thanks for all your advice.

Really good report, Ginge.

Despite having to abort the landing at Duxford, which was VERY disappointing, it was still a great day and an enjoyable navX, with my numbers working out well. I used...

:burger: The sofa had to go in order to make room for the wing, but back then I lived alone. Lucy wouldn't stand for it now.

If you can find a way to make them cheaper then I am all ears - we dream of a profit!

I'd take a leaf out of Steve Wilson's book and do away with skirts, fibreglass panels and...

I agree. And I think that it is making microlighting into a poor man's GA. Some of us actually prefer the idea of microlighting as a re-connection with pioneering flight. carpeting and heaters are...

Would you, Ginge? That is marvellous. Thank you.

You will know from Joan that I am far from a talented pilot, so I may have a taster and decide to leave it until I am more confident as a fixed...

My impression is that trike development has been huge, where fixed wing really hasn't developed anything like as fast; and in fact I wonder if fixed wing has really come on at all for a long time?

hahaha :lol:

but can you turn the engine off and climb faster than you can with the engine on?

The Dragonfly really is a wonderful experience but I do think they are expensive new. Second hand ones are a good option, though. The Alpha cannot possibly compete for buoyancy/ glide or soaring. But...

oh, BRILLIANT....thanks Peter!

I have had a Quantum and a Dragonfly. Also had a Q, but never flew it before selling it on.

Flew a Flash II for a few hours in 1992.

Forgive me, John, but are you the chap who sold me a hang glider ASI, once upon a time?

What a fantastic first cross country! I'd like to do that sort of thing.

TST, you mean?

My first microlight flight was with Ian Stokes, circa 1990 and that was in a taildragging Thruster. I have a real soft spot for the type.
