Might have to change my booked holiday to New Zealand for the fly-in - maybe I won't Enjoy all and hope the weather and prop gods are kind to you. Tony

Make sure we are in first. We have a New Zealand trip planned in April and a few campervan trips to be organised.

Steve Yep, one of many down here Does not show how cold and wet the grass was though with a very low ground mist. We have a weather mast on the airfield and I have never seen it show 0.3 mph guests at 0.9 mph before. But, yes, lovely flight which I spent 90% of my time at 10 - 20 feet - going around the airfield and moor hills (mountains we call them here). Awesome.

Last night I was flying watching the sun set as normal and I saw 30 ish cars parked by the reservoir, Everybody was out watching the sun go down too. I thought I bugger off and not upset anybody. On landing a car pulled up and said he followed me back to the airfield, because he took a photo of me with his mobile and wondered if I wanted it. In the end they were all watching the starlings flying around and not me So I thought I'll share 'Darren's' photo - What a kind guy

Yer - so many people

I don’t normally post about me flying, but what a lovely few days. Friday evening, watching the sun setting just hovering around 4000 feet. Saturday morning meeting Neil and his wife, just before a morning flight whispering about the coastal clouds. Saturday evening two PPG’ers, father and son. Just dropped in to say hi. The son, being old enough to be my grandson. Then watching the new club's Thruster (spit) landing after a 7 hrs flight from up north with a few club members present. This was just before a flight watching the sun setting just off the North Cornwall Coast. What a few days of sun can bring to life to the great north coast of Cornwall.

Not much fun until after 1730 ish tonight. 100% dark clouds. TO in complete nil wind and cam back in 8 mph bumpy air - very weird for Davidstow, and the wind was coming from the coast!! Better tomorrow we hope

Due to past events, I'll left my machine a few times for 6 - 12 months unused. All I did was empty the fuel tank, take out the spark plug and put a few drops of oil in the hole. Then plug with some rag. Then you have plenty of fuel for the lawn mower etc Afterwards, fresh fuel and maybe new spark plug - starts like the lawn mower

Andy That's another twist to the prop Need to think about that one!!!

Cheers Steve. Checked my epoxy and it looks very old. So to be safe I've just ordered some 'Instant' type. Should be here by Wednesday and then I'll have a play I think it happen when I took my motor out the van, but I might be wrong and it happen over the weekend. I polished the prop before I went and never noticed then.

I have some old stuff in my tool box - not sure what type it is. I'll have a play tomorrow. Cheers

Alan I presume you use the normal 'Araldite' type epoxy? The one you mix the two together? Feel a right newbie here, but I guess it is a thing guys do not want to do a lot

OK cheers Never repaired one before. I'm guessing this will be a good, easy one to test my skills on WILL IT ?? Just not sure how to keep a good curve on the edge still !!! Knowing my luck I'll put so much epoxy on I'll need to put a lead weight on the other side to balance it ......

What would you do...... After a shed load of hours on this prop I was taking it out of the van after the Flyin and it caught on the top of the van. I did give it a yank so guess lucky not to snap !! Leave it alone - will it vibrate? Would it be out of balance now Fill in with? Dent the after side?

I've been looking at a sub 70kg for the past year - just waiting for my back to finally give in When the time comes I'll look at them both and twith the past history too. To be honest I would like to just keep on PPG'ing soooo much better

Sorry, yes I remember now. It was at the last PMC Fly-In Nice guy and lovely machine...

I thought you get 6 hours free training when you buy one?

Why don't you start 'unboxing' and 'training' videos? Would be great to see how you get on.

Awesome choice.

At least you are aware of this before you start......

You must do a training video log on here - that would be interesting??

Nice ? ? ? ?

Dave PM sent.

Looks fab The seat is pretty high of the ground - saves a bum drag Awesome, will be interesting to how you get on.

Alan - Not knocking the Bailey at all and the frame (I had the v1), just saying it will be a heavy mix of frame and motor. Just saying from a person with a long standing back problem
