Don’t be deceived by the fact that it looks like a deck-chair. The Sky Ranger is an excellent performer. Try giving Paul Dewhurst a call at FlyLight at Sywell. I’m sure he’ll be delighted to arrange for you to have a go. Even with two-up, you’ll be amazed at the rate of climb after a PA-28!

No I was quite impressed by it, especially as it managed to keep it’s engine running, whilst the Tri-Pacer conked out on tick over and had to be re-started! (and blew my son’s crisps off the table)

‘NG is certainly distinctive!
I believe the tail dragger in the line is a Vagabond – G-BDVB if my sad memory doesn’t fail me.

Wessex Boy. The homebuilt in the picture with ‘HP taxying out is a Europa if that is of any interest.

Yep, The Europa is a resident at Conington, but I have never seen it move, or even with the covers off…
The Sky Ranger certainly looked less than substantial though… 😮 But it was extremely quiet and had an extremely short takeoff run!

BR,
Thanks, I have always struggled to shrink photos, but at least I now have a method that retains the quality.
My new Panasonic FZ5 seems quite good, especially as it was bought of eBay with the proceeds of selling a few bundles of baby clothes and car seats, so was effectively free!

There are not many US light aircraft I find interesting, but the Tri-Pacer, along with the Colt and Caribean is one range, Taylorcraft obviously for their Auster connection, but my fave has to be the Cessna Airmaster.
Among the modern(ish) stuff Mooneys have always intrigued me.

BR, Thanks have switched from HP software to MS Picture Editor, hopefully these are better!

Seem to recall that Skyranger is Flylight’s from Sywell.

Slight quality problem on the photos – did you downmix them to 256 colours or something?

I dropped them from 5M pixels to lo-res to allow upload, I will have a look at them, because the originals look fine
