god that takes me back - my old man started doing that stuff 50 years ago! Everything from slope soaring to an 8-foot wingspan Bleriot copy...he also designed the very first digital proportional radio control equipment in the UK...the hours of my life I've spent on windswept airfields!!!

and as if that wasn't enough he got into microlights and for the last 40-odd years he's been designing and building autogyros, in fact he's still building them and fighting battles with the CAA over build criteria at 78 years of age!

too be honest never designed anything always built from scratch ,using plans,couldnt design jack s*** that i would trust to fly,its amazing how many people have done it,even the free flight stuff,i started doing this for a bit of peice and quiet and never left it ,wether i fly or not i always try to teach the new kids at the club to fly,hoping they get the same enjoyment i do

We're off to the Lakes, on a cl not too far from Penrith but a couple of miles from anywhere.

I'm gutted though, mate from work has just made it known that he's on another cl about 2 1/2 miles away , next to a village and near a pub.

Sadly we're going to have to go and visit him and his good lady wife on Saturday night and we may be forced to drink some beer..........its a tough life

[zippy656]

I'm sure you can walk there, after all JUST in case you HAVE to have a drink, just to be social you under stand.

cant think why you'd want to drink that stuff other wise

[extreme-4x4]
