Light Aircraft Association

Hi Steve HNY
I find all theses consultations very tedious but looked through the
consultation document.
Seems to cover most aspects. So I responded with a yes to most things (I think).

Forgot what I wanted to post, happy Christmas and New year rain must stop soon

Hi Phil and guys I found my VW Peacock run in shedule which is a guide. I can copy and send if required. This is for a 1600 but probably applies. It starts conservatively 6x 1000rpm for 10mins and up to 3200 in stages. I think I ran mine for 20hrs before flying to be safe. Long time ago but ran like...

Makes for a good discussion, I myself have flown across Grafham Water unsupported , but that's
another story. Keeeeeep posting

"As for the VP1..sounds like a challenging little flying machine."

Notice I didn't mention a Fred

Your quite right Chris, should be awarded. Glad I don't have to decide to whom.
Now if it had been in a VP1 with map and compass

British adventurer and Scouting Ambassador and serial adventurer. Not Sure

YEP sounds good hope your going to take a risk and fly in.

Agree with Chris, we are a responsible lot there to enjoy the sights and sounds of our passion, any one who starts shouting about needs sorting. Would blow my top if it happened to me

Very organised joining this year although never had a problem in the past.Interesting discussion re BMAA and
LAA merger, would like to see BMAA articles etc in magazine. Now I know who Grant Shaps is seemed very up beat, with his team. My big tent was very roomy

Chris Would wholeheartedly agree that having a VW type creation keeps you flexible and light. Would not agree that a Fred is as Flyable having heard stories of the climb rate etc. Missed the Aurthur Ord Hume lecture think the weather was poor that year. Friend John Mamby had a VP1 for many years and...

Hi Brian Mono is a jump in and go sort of plane, not so comfortable these days as pointed out but great fun. Not sure the Fred would be as flyable. How old and how many hours. No microlights when I started building mine and then along came Corby Starlet,Collibri,D9,Turbulent and VP1 just to mention ...

OK OK, then there is Chris Lodge similar time biting my tongue

Chris so I'm old. Wouldn't call my Mono organic more Navigator after the film ( if you remember it). 8) Remember the adds, thank goodness I built a mono trouble free for 30 years, easy starting cold or hot 100mph 10-12lts hr with 1600VW. Which has just been rebuilt and fitted with Leburg ( great bit...

Fair enough but would you really want a FRED
