rob_e Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hi, I'm not far from you in Leamington Spa and was wondering if you have a local flying site you might be willing to share? Also if you fancy meeting for a flight I'd be interested. ATB Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignos Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 i have 2 sites, one is strictly for me (i dont want to loose it!) and the other is a microlight field, how much experience have you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_e Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I understand - I get the impression sites are precious. I am fairly new to the sport and only have a few hours experience so admit I still have a lot to learn. ATB Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignos Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 im new to, i had a false start 5 years ago, then started flying last year. Its fairly easy to get a field, just fine one that you like and ask the farmer. They are usually ok from my experience. you could have a go at the microlight club if you come up with me, but it can get busy. i will keep an eye out for a field between us, Leamington has restricted airspace (1500 ft) so its quite claustrophobic. where did you do your training?

rob_e Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I did my training with Paddys Parmotor Training and have subsequently found it to have been a bit limited. I am aware of the restriction over Leamington itself but I think if you go beyond Dunchurch you're then into free space away from the issues with BHX and Coventry. At the moment I would put up with busy if it meant I get to fly. I have had to stay clear for 8 weeks after an op so I'm just practising my ground handling again to get a feel for it while looking for a place to fly from. I am away for most of the next two weeks with work but would be interested in going with you to the microlight club after this if its OK.
