Jeez man, you need a hobby.

Talking to yourself Steve?

At least you didn’t go the whole hog and reply.

Great idea Marchettiman.

I'll either be flying from Nuthampstead (1 seat available) or driving from East Herts (3 seats) so can pick up enroute).

Hi Steve (Arnold) Some of the points you raised have been answered by others, probably more succinctly than I am about to do, before I saw your post but for the avoidance of doubt and the benefit of anyone who doesn't know why that slide was significant and recently became even more so, here's my re...

I'd never even heard of one before now, lovely machine.

Surely not ab initio training? Tailwheel or aerobatics then?

This situation would never had arisen had your publicity been factual and when called into question, hones...

Now that made me proper larf out loud, thanks for that.


The PC brigade will be along later to sort you out.

I can only guess it might be whether or not the control layout is suitable, maintenance history perhaps (although if it has a Permit the aircraft is airworthy)? I honestly don't know. I really am cu...

.... reading threats of votes of no confidence... Where? Paul. Rather curious why you omitted the rest of that sentence, "or otherwise" ? Ref: your post, top of page 15. The words "vote of confidence" would imply that some might vote otherwise. It looks like you are having a pop at me. Please stop ...

Engine baffles for me - old ones are very old. I renewed the induction ducting and seals on my Jodel (similar job). They weren't old, the whole airframe only has 100 hours on it, but the originals didn't seal at all well. Gained 100rpm static thrust from that. What I really could do with is a half ...

Don't you worry treacle, we've always known you to be a bird. Bird in a monoplane, incha?
