When will the AveoTransCom become a reality ?

I made mine roughly 6 metres wide, why ? Well 6 metres was the with of 4 passes with the tractor mounted grass topper and because grass at the sides does not grow too high. If it is barley or some other tall crop then the width needs to be large enough to accommodate the wingspan, especially a low w...

what part of microLIGHT don't you understand !!

Jon want to "insist" that microlights (them) comply with his list of priorities. To say that you both dislike microlights is the biggest understatement since Noah said "It looks like rain" !!

On first viewing the new layout looks fresh and inviting. From my side I see quite a few bugs, then I would as I run the NMAI forum in Ireland !. (1) The first thing I notice is that there is no "HOME" button from the forum page to get you back to the LAA homepage.... so a case of clicking BACK (2) ...
