Nice one Hann - (I was hoping to get to the Isle of Widget) - haven't been there for a while ;)

Glad you and others got in the air.

 

Ok - I'll have a look. Thanks.  Was hoping to be in Cornwall but long way to come given the weather - got to be back on Sunday to be 'Birthdayed' by my kids.    Sure we'll meet up soon.

 Think you're right.  I will check it out next time I'm in Annecy free-flying - think that it is being taken on much more in the FF community and in the Alps especially.  Was just interested in what the target is in the top right of your screen (with + sign at centre) and whether that had anything to do with it - I haven't seen that on my screen yet.

Hi Chris - me too as you know. So far I haven’t noticed anything on my screen when flying - went on 70k trip last Thursday. Naviter say it’s on as default so am trusting all is well.

From your photo it seems you may have now tested with other traffic. Is that target top right appearing because there’s another aircraft near? Or do you just have your Oudie screen set up differently to mine?

cheers

Hi Cas

Good to finally meet face to face with you and Steve on Saturday. Hope to meet up again soon. Are you on Facebook?

Hi Dave 

Interesting - I have just asked Clive Mason (he's a microavionics dealer) a similar question as I'm coming into contact with much more GA where I fly from more regularly now. I was looking at the Yaesu 250L as it looks smaller.

On the subject of Common Land.

Having lived next to the New Forest for years I know that our notion of what 'Common Land' means is a bit vague (a bit like Common-Law marriages).  Sadly, pretty much all 'Common' Land is owned by the local authority (or in the case of the New Forest, the National Park). Before that it would have been most likely the Lord of the Manor.  It's pretty much a misnomer to think that by being 'common',  you/we/I have a right to do whatever we like on it - most bits of common land come with by-laws. Worth asking though (or getting up v early  )

That said, when I was in the New Forest, I did have the right to allow my pigs to roam searching for acorns during 'Pannage' in the autumn... I didn't have any pigs!

I now have my renewal. All good at the moment of course but if no-deal Brexit they say they may need to cancel and repay my premium.

I've just had my renewal notice with no mention of this. Have emailed them and will update when I get an answer.  GeoffW, not sure the club's policy picks you off an alp and repatriates  but maybe I'm wrong.

Jon - I spoke to Barry yesterday - suggested we put something up on Facebook. - Do you mind me using your text above?

Paul

will do...

yup - afraid I just passed on by back to London - still gusting plenty here now

Might be an idea.  Gusty here at the moment too - could die down later.

Btw this thread is getting very long is a Guildford group needed?

What time are you planning to go? 

Hi Greg - would love to but am stuck in Chichester until later. Will try to swing by if I’m not too late. Have you checked in with Barry?

Lovely 4 stroke sound :) - good to meet you Greg

First time at Barry's for me too since I trained with Steve Haze 6 years ago - lovely evening with about 4 balloons up and one to play around with on my new BaileyV5s Zenith. Had to keep a beady on the virga in the distance over London 

Nice to see Steve again and two others whose names I've now forgotten in the focus of setting up...

Hope to see you there

Anyone in Guildford tomorrow evening?  Szabi - did I meet you at John Kirby's back in the early spring? 

Looks nice though ...

:) got the older Thule easybase - not sure I can justify splashing out on a new base for a new motor ;)

Blimey- the thread lives! Six years and counting...Timely actually as I’m after ideas for putting a Zenith Bailey on a Thule easybase

Great video - nice place to fly!
