Curious...was the wing carrying much water in the trailing edge

But then you really wanted that outcome. You seem to be flying with no regard to the flight dynamics of your machine.

I like it Pat....and sweet if you run out of fuel in the car

Nice flight...weather...and views. Get your final turn around two hundred feet and pick your landing spot in the field. Final turn brings you into wind. Keep your eye on landing spot and adjust throttle if you can see your either to high or to low. Its best to keep the low level stuff into wind to help to manage any wind gradient or turbulence. With a long final approach you have plenty of time to get your arrival point bang on. ps if your approach is to low your wing will be in Pangbourne and your boots and teeth will be in Paddington Regards Richard

hi Google "Cerney engineering" and chat to them. Worth a chat. Rich

Hi Pat I'm not aware of a henge in that spot. A large equestrian business runs in that location. Looks a bit like jumps but in a strange shape. Rich

Good sound advice. If you screw in the high jet on the carb three turns...you will have no engine in about ten minutes. Regards richard

Guatemala........ dow

If you saw my new Dudek sythe 2 built in Poland I think you would get rid immediately. Sale of goods act is easy. Not fit for purpose....return and cash back. I have a few stitch ends on my lines but ..nothing...nothing...is coming undone. You have bought an aircraft and workman ship is paramount. Are you allways going to be checking stitching and repairing it as an when? If your anywhere near Swindon ....crash in.... I'd like to see Rich

Most two strokes... Open the throttle fast and a lot of air is drawn into the carb/cylinders. This leads to a lean condition as the main jet hasn't got out of bed yet. So manufacturers place an additional slow running jet on the carb that introduces fuel quickly for this event. Its got a blockage or not opened enough.

Well said Scooby.. If we don't show up on radar because there tuned to filter out flocks of birds then they need to address this .....as we are not birds. We frequent the sky and have every right to be there and we desire to be on radar and not lost in a filtering anomaly. Clearly birds need to be watched and monitored....you only have to ask the pilot of US airways Cpt Sullenger... Watch this about birds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixUbdeXCp0M Who is the spokes person for our sport and get them knocking on CAA door for our rights to exist. Rich

Well done Pat. Couldn't get up today because of work pooh but well pleased you got off the deck clean. I don't know if it's relevant but I've noticed the harder you pull up the wing with physical effort the more likely you are to starting bent slightly face down with the motor trying to turn you into a rotavator. Let that motor take the strain of initial inflation. how do you do this......only kidding good job. Rich

Good post That shows a product ready for development. As with most Brits we are all great at inventions and poor at bringing them to market. We don't need to appear as big as a jumbo so a modified Van Atta smaller might do the job. Could the Van Atta have a greater matrix and be ball shaped?

Tuesday is looking like a maybe flying day
