Light Aircraft Association

Hmm, yes, headsets could be a possibility. I'll check the mikes and see if I can reproduce the fault.

I appear to have an intermittant transmission problem. On an outbound flight yesterday I was having difficulty making myself heard over anything more than 5 miles, transmitting at strength 1 or less, but was hearing everyone else strength 5. Later on, another flight I was transmitting over 25 miles ...

Hmm, not heard of the Remos before. £65000, it just seems so expensive, why do these machines cost so much?

Clearly someone's planned to fly down my way this weekend, and look whats happened.

Does it actually get light that far North Jamie. Surely the icebergs cast a long shadow!!

Have to agree there Welshman. I'm not fussed how dark or light it is when I'm going to work in the mornings, but an extra hour of light in the evenings would make a huge difference. More flying in the Autumn and it would also help reduce "seasonal adjustment disorder" I reckon.

Probably a silly suggestion, but I've noticed during descent that the fluid in my compass (which needs topping up) provides an elaborate surface pattern that would appear to be correlated to cockpit vibration. During descent the trusty rotax has the occasional miss when not under load and I have not...

Brian?
Diamond geezer. Cracking weather this weekend too.

Fantastic.
Mission accomplished, complete success. Yves has plans to develop and market a microlight category version with wheels.

These are seminal times for GA and your £50 is well spent here.

Right with you there Steve.

Is anything happening this weekend? At the moment the WX looks ok but I'm loathe to suggest anything or it will start raining again.

Perhaps a BB cup of tea fly in at Bembridge. Just a thought. Sorry!

For a JAA PPL I think the max is 5700kg. I think the Antonov AN2 is about as big as you can go.

I guess we should all wish him luck. I hope it all goes to plan. I think I want one of these please Francis.

Alternatively you can get a 'Sigg' spun aluminium seamless bottle from Millets camping dept for £14.99. Mines done 300 hours with no problems.
