Sherwood Ranger

After Russ Light's prototype, mine was the first to fly in the UK. I have to say this aircraft was a delight to build, fly and own.

We are some way onto testing and the numbers are a bit elusive due to never seeming to have the day calm enough for the really interesting ones. It might happen today! But generally we have 1500ft/ min climb (possibly more) , cruise anywhere between 'super slow/economy cruise' at 135mph / 23" and 40...

Hello I am going through the process with my almost complete T51 Mustang. This is a heavier built beast than the 912 version and has the 180hp Suzuki V6. The LAA seem to be right there on this, for which I am extreemly grateful. It's obviously a gamble as there are plenty of potential hurdles. I'd b...

No. Fraid not, I was thinking Austers, Wilgas, Cubs, Luscombes perhaps a Lysander or two (cloud cuckoo land I know)....but you never know who's lyrking out there.

Basically you'd have to be able to land backwards in a strong wind :lol:

I'm suggesting 'STOL specific' to avoid any bold non STOl'ers having a go!
