  5. Yep I have used one on my miniplane The 4's Makes ground handling a lot easier has cruise control If you do a face plant with engine on you don't jam the throttle into the ground(not that I have ever done that) The against Can make your finger ache difficult to kill the motor with same hand. but all in all not bad for the money and Gérard who makes them is a good guy. There is a wireless throttle about now as well. Bob..

  13. Sounds about right but he didn't come back alone
  14. The video quite clearly says 'Oh dear, Steve gets a police escort'. So where does Bob come in? There have been loads of complaints re low flying along the coast from Hastings to Brighton, particularly about PPG pilots buzzing the public low along the beaches. Nearly every time I land out on the Newhaven-Brighton run, I get complaints. The CAA have been informed, and will take miscreants to court if sufficient proof is provided. While the mysterious 'Bob and Steve' may not have seen the NOTAMS, they sure as hell should know about the 500 foot rule. There is someone who regularly launches from the southern end of Telscombe Tye and annoys the public by illegal low flying. Is he Bob? Is he Steve? Or someone else? Get your act together guys; it's cool to buzz the beaches, and I know I'd be tempted myself, but it's illegal, and your day in court will come, and the result won't just be a telling off... That was our first flight in your area and in the 2 to 3 years we have flown in our area not one complaint. we get lots of people asking questions and we go out of our way to show them all the kit. hearts and minds it pays to be friendly.
