Great pictures guys! Thanks for sharing!

Why she off to Canada?

Canada is fine by me (as I’ll be visiting Canada soon) 😉

Any ideas on how long she is going to stay there?

HAF: Super Pumas… but during a conflict all available means would be utilised.

Hi All,
I was at Cosford on Sunday and Duxford on Monday…

Great photo there!

And i’m sure we both have been in each other’s way a few times that day, and I know of at least one more member of this forum who was there that day. 🙂

I like the Cosford presentation better, since the Duxford one is… lost among the other exhibits and realy out of sight now they are working on almost everything inside hangar 1. I couldn’t even take a pic of her there 🙁

trikes are not “ultralights”

Please correcet me where you think i’m wrong. I think I’m going to learn a lot from this…

3-axis ultralights have a set of regulations. I know that.

Weight-shift controled devices don’t have a set of regulations. Our local civil aviation authority at least doesn’t. If you know of a gvmnt organisation that has issued rules and regulations about them (trikes, motorised parapente, etc) please point me at their direction.

And if CAA has rules, what about the JAA in which the Greek authority also is a member of?

Our Air Club was faced with that issue very recently as we discussed the purchase of a trike. Legaly speaking they are illegal here for now. And we also wanted to check if the device to be purchaced was in complience to regulations. But we couldn’t find any set of regulations to begin with. And then there is also the insuranse issue 🙁

Any help will be greatly apreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Trikes are not regulated by a set of rules yet AFAIK. If someone knows otherwise please, PLEASE say so! You see they are not 3-axis a/c but weight shift controled…

I used to think my bum would need at least a B747 to get off the ground. I was happy to find out I lifted off with a small wing (or sail) over my head… 🙂

3 seater trike? never seen one :confused:

I’ve flown counter weight in Cessna 150, 152 etc… I’ve also flown as tail gunner in 172s but didn’t like it as much although i could move around and shoot pics freely.

I’ve also flown in B737s but they could have done without me 😀

I regret I didn’t fly with the Rapide over Duxford when I had the chance 🙁

Or the Tiger Moth… 🙁

Has any of you guys flown with either?

I’ve flown trikes and yes it a great way to have fun. Simple as that. 🙂

I think I like doing the right hand seat balast in a Cessna better though 😀

Thank you very much for your answer! This was more than I could hope for. 🙂

I Love warbirds! I missed the ’02 show. I couldn’t make it work with the RIAT 02 dates. This time it fits nicely.

If all goes well, i’ll be there too.

Thanks again.

planning ahead

This looks like the best place to ask so here it goes…

I’m planning on visting Duxford (among other places) for the Flying Legends show in the summer of ’04. I would like to hear your oppinion about the past shows.

Is it worth the trip?

Does it get crowded like for example RIAT?

How did the accidents effected the shows there?

What should I expect to see next summer now that many a/c have been put more or less, out of commission?

And a small detail: Do they operate the shuttle bus from Cambridge train station on show days?

Thanks in advance…

Yes, it was on display in it’s current status inside the restoration hangar of the HAF museum. Very interesting. Pics are being developed…
