CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Speaking of flying...here is a little project I built a few years ago on its maiden flight. Not quite Concorde - in fact given a decent headwind you could almost get negative ground-speed but short field performance - wow.

Hi everyone the pooch here for a cuppa.

compoundup, What a fantastic project! Is it built from your own spec or some kind of build-your-own-plane package?


btw, the pooch is free and single again just the way he likes it. I can concentrate on the Bods more.

It was a kit based on a pre-welded tubular fuselage, some wing spars and 14 boxes of bits. It arrived on the day I got married. It took 3 years and about 1200 hours to knock it into shape. I'm still working on Mrs C.

Nice picture compound,who`s flying the beast ?

Goldie ,you should come with us boys to chester races,,some fine fillys there and the horses are not to bad either.

Poor us a pint thats a good dog.

Afternoon All!
Sorry lunch was cancelled due to the kitchen staff having to deal
with a delivery and taking their time about it. ;>)

OK sarnies can be rustled up if anyone wants, there's plenty of
cold roast chicken, smoked salmon, cheddar and liver sausage and lots
of tasty green leaves (ok salad) and tomatoes and coleslaw!

Priscilla yes sorry I had to depart, the call of the ironing and dinner!
:>)

Compoundup, I got to fly a Tiger moth last year - great fun!! but to fly your own hand-built plane must be a great achievement and a very full-filling ambition. I'm sure Mrs C was chuffed to pieces.

DD. I took the photo. As I was new to the "type" I needed an type-experienced person with no nerves about flying someone else's creation. Had to go all the way to Walkerburn in the Borders to find someone daft enough.

He took it once around the field then I went dual with him for the real testing before I could get it signed off and insured.

afternoon DD and bun buns.

Ok poured you a pint DD, i think i would be better off going to the greyhounds!!

Dont be a daft dog,you want them to come up to your shoulder at least.

LOL Afternoon chaps!!
:>)
Another Bods?

I'm just working on some invoices Bun buns, i really should not be drinking!! but hey! a dogs gotta drink.
:-)

Compoundup that looks fun, is it a kitfox? I always wanted to build my own aircraft but I have lost my medical now, at least it should save me some money ;-)

Do you go to the PFA rally?

DD, when is this Chester trip

It is indeed a Kitfox Mk2. The whole experience was capped by flying in to the PFA Rally at Cranfield in 1994. I too have been grounded latterly - not by medicals but by opportunity or lack thereof. I hope to take it up again.

I missed the rally at Kemble last year but go when I can

Early may 3rd 4th 5th,i think.

I'm not sure if this place has a cellar but i'm off down it to drink a Bods barrel dry.

Easy for you to say,,,,,,,bods barrel dry,,,,,,,not after 4 cans.

DD
Make it a Money AM trip. I might come down as its only 2 hours on the train.

Do you ever get the impression we are all boozed up gamblers?
:-)

lovely
