Re: New Thread on Permit turnround times.

Sent mine in last Thursday, August 31st. Zoe in the office called me yesterday lunchtime, Tuesday, September 5th with a query on a missed tick box on the check flight form.

Oh and meant to say I'm 5'5" at a stretch so may not be a great judge of space available!

Re: Any 6ft 4" LAA pilots out there?

Groppo Trail possibly? If you are near me (Tatenhill) you are welcome to come and sit in mine with the seat adjusted to the rearmost mounting holes. Suspect body length may be more of an issue though.

Re: AGM

As an on-line attendee the experience was very poor. Couldn't hear most of what the in room attendees said.

Voting issues were a shambles.

Re: Lonely aircraft

I decided on a certain make and model of aircraft which I admired. I wrote a speculative letter to a selection of owners, had replied from all but one and have secured what I wanted. If you can narrow it down to a concrete desire you may get lucky like I did.

Re: Airspace Aware ( for Android )

You can pick up a second hand smartphone for peanuts. In fact I have a few lying around the house here used for various apps and with no simcards in.

If you fly enough to warrant having Skydemon you would then have the perfect combination. Up to date charts, flight planning etc.

Re: New LAA Website

I wish I could click on the 'More' icon but it is permanently obscured by a 'login/register' icon. It would be helpful if that vanished when logged in - which I am. I'm on a normal pc and apart from the nice photos on the home page don't like the new overly tricked up site. It's a bit like the 100 i...

Re: Taylor Titch??

Will,
I will probably have a copy here. I see you are Derby based. I'm near Tatenhill. You can borrow the hard copy or if you send me your email address I'll scan it to you.
