Let's be a bit careful. I know some pilots do indeed deserve recognition, but a breath before going again won't go amiss. I'm sure the award can be awarded retrospectively at some stage if deserved. Remember the rush with thingy The old phrase " Can't do right for doing wrong" springs to mind and th...

Kepe it shought. Eye Carn't spel

I agree with everything you said Brian. As for the Pitsford hold, I wish people would stop being professional nitpickers and get on with it. The pilot should be able to conduct the whole process without problems. Any chance of someone having a "word" with those who obviously got it wrong. ie asking ...

I had a good time as usual and really do appreciate the work the sparks and parks do for us. I think the marshallers and gate guardians deserve a vote of thanks too. They all did a great job. The rules were there for the safety of us all and showing a safety card and wristband wasn't onerous at all....

Next presentation for the Strut will be given by John Teasdale.
John is the BMA safety officer and will be discussing flight safety and differences between the Microlight, LAA and other GA organisations.
19:30 Wed 27th Feb at Full Sutton Airfield.

If It's not gonna be me, either of them would make decent substitutes Chris.
It would be a coup indeed if one of them threw their hat in the ring.

Oi!!! Worrabout me?

I own a D117 and it is a good short strip aircraft. At MAW it easily takes off in 350 metres in any conditions experienced last summer. At the standard 1013.2, 15c and nil wind, I am usually flying in 200-250 metres. I also have a coarse prop. If you are interested in a Jodel, as with all aircraft f...

Be very careful with the Eurofox Microlight.
A great aircraft, but the weight limitation is real issue.

I've tried really hard Mike, but can't find a Eurostar with a tailwheel.
