ideas!!! I taught them all they know! 😉
ok, scrap this thread.they’ve removed the damn message they posted….just to make me look a complete knob eh!!! 👿
good idea there spunker, if i ever get my licence then i could indeed fly over to spain assuming i’m allowed in their airspace with that particular licence; i know i can fly into France and i’m hoping that Italy is also within its limits……assuming that side is all good, it once again sadly comes down to finances, to hire the eurostar it’s £75 an hour which is a lot cheaper than hiring a cesna 152 or summat at around £120 and hour. To buy the eurostar ready built its around £45k but as a kit i think you can knock about £10k off that price. Outside my budget i’m afraid so for the foreseeable future its an easyjet flight to Alicante or summat 😉
i’d love to buy a plane………beyond my finances sadly………..still, if i can learn i’d be more than happy to rent by the hour.
I’ve been having lessons in a microlight recently, hopefully going to go for my NPPL (M) licence; i’ve been flying a eurostar EV97.

Performance wise its not far off a cesna 152, the rate of climb is approx 1000ft a minute and can cruise along happily at 85mph but can reach 100mph without too much effort.
I have to say its a real buzz to be in control of an aircraft, i’ve a long way to go yet but i hope this time next year i’l have my licence..then i shall endevour to visit all you peeps in the Northern parts of the UK, perhaps drag pants along if he’s brave enough 😉
i went flying today and it was fantastic…….initially flew to 1500ft then practised ascending and descending up to around 3500ft. It was awesome to be flying just below the clouds and in control. 😀
hasn’t this been posted before ? i know i’ve seen it but was sure it had been posted……anyhow, no matter.it is indeed very funny, especially the last guy who manages to stay on the chair all the way down. 😆
hehe, used to send apprentices for long weights, buckets of steam, bottles of pigeon milk, short sharp punches and a host of other ridiculous things. 8) 😆
