Where in the JAR PPL syllabus did I have to do 5 hours on instruments? :confused:

Try buying a Cub share for a £1000 and flying for £30/hr. Not ever going to happen! What gets me too is this mentality that having a syndicated aircraft rather than a rented one saves you much money. All those hidden extras add up!

3 hrs Maule time this week. Happy cookie 🙂

Planning warbird project number 2 then? 🙂

Tomcat, is that the Beech they were restoring a few years back at Sywell then? I recall they were rapidly running out of cash and appealing for large corporate sponsors. How did the story evolve for there?

With millions of websites out there, you can’t remove every copy. Let it live. :rolleyes:

Your Gipsy will run happily on unleaded mogas surely? If you’re into more rarified forms of fuel, Sywell do 80 UL (a more refined form of mogas)

Hmm, who scanned the photo out of this weeks Flight Intl then? 😉

If you read the story, the FB’s larger wing slows the aircraft by a fraction yet allows it to carry significanty more or outsized payload and increase it’s range by a claimed 300%. The aircraft also shares 85% of the FA’s components.

You gotta admit, in terms of single-solutions for future multiple roles it makes some sense on paper.

We’re quite happy keeping these machines local to the UK and in particular in Warwickshire hands 😉

HP, how about selling the Robin, getting a Maule that can do touring AND stripping? Difference sort of fun but fun none the less. Skirt twitch factor?

Yeah predictable answer I know :p
