& Dilley, Pay attention I already have wings on my car!
Perhaps I should turn them the other way up?

Absolutely brill mate, I have a friend with a multi engined and it took her nearly 4 years to get all told from start to finish. And what it did for her was unreal. The headaches she used to get from doing the navigation stuff used to send her round the twist.

Wel done mate well done

So, in other words you finished your build after two years

Top man congrats to you,
I see now why i could not come along to see my new chassis!!!!! . great news though.
Looks like i may be able to come along to you on monday now as my job has been cancelled for monday. If thats ok with you cheers gary

55-60 hours isnt bad m8!!! Good stuff...

I cant understand why you would want to fly an aircraft with the wings properly attached to the fusealge.....Give me a helicopter any day with the wings held on by three nappie pins

Are you planning to go onto do CPL, or is it just a bit of fun?

Just for fun, might do the night license bit (useful if you get caught out timewise), but doubt if I'll bother with all the IMC stuff.

Well done russ, i'm envious as i gave up some years back when my mortgage hit 15%+

According to my mate who carried on and passed you deffinatly only need to go CPL if you want to raise your sex life


russbost - 1/4/07 at 08:54 AM

What's a sex life?


tegwin - 1/4/07 at 09:07 AM

Hmm...night rating doesnt sound to fun to me....

Trying to fly VFR when you cant see where you are going doesnt appeal to much...


Good luck on that one!
