    Well - what is the truth!!!! Has anybody actually flown yet in the past few days????

    Again - kind offer. I had mine done by Oscar and the dirty water left behind was unbelievable really. Not had a chance to test it out yet, only on the ground and it sounds gggrrreeeat.

    I have just been up the airfield and it was bloody lovely. I was just walking the dog, but looking up and checking out the wind Back of my mind is staying - what is the different - walking the dog on the airfield, which I am aloud to do or flying 2000 feet in the air, which I am not aloud to do at a licensed airfield. I am not going to, because of accidents etc and the main reason, my wife being a nurse working all the hours of the day, with me sitting at home.

    Problem is it is not very well hard to hide - is it!!! If ALL aviation is banned - we have no choice. Is flying a Cessna classed as exercise or even a Peabee (sorry Giles )

    Must be a bit harder core in Cornwall. We have two teenagers constantly flying and on the other hand we have over sixties Also, late seventies / eighties flying microlights - scary

    It's OK, Simon has asked it to change for the Friday before. So, should be OK

    Same here. I was flying on my own at Davidstow for about 3 years - now we have 14 PPG members, only 5 - 6 regulars here, but still a big growth in the last 2-3 years.

    Matt 10 flights in a week is pretty dam good - well done. You should keep a record, good for motor maintenance (ha! ha!)

    Honest Cornish statement with no word of a pasty. Can't wait to meet you and take you further into your dreams. Tony

    Why don't you get some bifocal safety glasses. would help to keep the wind out your eyes and be able to read items on your flight desk. You can get them from Fleabay for a few quid. Old codgers like me need things like that. Tony

    Best option is to take a video of your wing flipping! Thousand words and all that

    Just pick a good day and come to Davidstow Airfield. Mostly laminate (depending on direction) winds and a bloody big flat airfield to land on. Once you've done a few on there you're be good to go

    It was me with 7 other guys. Most of the guys (except Whitters) belong to Davidstow. We all had a day out and flew around and arrange to land at Hayle beach, was met by Daniel's wife and had a Cornish Pastie each. Yes Whitters was flying a PPG (first time in two years). We thought it would be a good idea to have a pre- PMC Coastal Run. Fantastic day out with us all in the air at the same time, with lovely scenery that far down the coast Tony PM Sent

    Hands Off Alan - He is one of ours There are about a dozen of us this end of the world, but most don't really use this forum.

    At first a piece of land looks like a postage stamp from above, but an airfield's like an A4 piece of flat paper Don't be a Hero too quick to!

    After Spain you are still welcome to come to Davidstow if you're unsure and just want to fly with others until you get your confidence up or just come up and fly with us. Tony

    Hi Matt Looks like you are based in Redruth. You are more than welcome to pop over to Davidstow airfield anytime. Tony

    Andy - You should get the 600 x 600 stool - looks a lot safer. I just pump the bulb a good few times. Then quickly push in the carb button so I hear a hissing noise. Pull the handle a few times (to get the blood pumping in your arm - lol) Pull until it bites - then pull. Copyrighted by Clive M. Well, nearly the same words. . . .

    How about having the motor on your back and sitting down on the ground. Leaning forward slightly with your legs/knees apart. I did it this way for a time, but now I can't stand up with it on my back that easy. Note: This was only to start it and then idle for a few minutes. Turn it off (to test), stand up and then it should start very easy. Now I need to sit on a bench to start it up. Tony

    Dave No, thank you. If you didn't come over I wouldn't been flying today. You're welcome anytime. Enjoy the rest of your holiday up country. Tony

  24. asquaddie
