bignos Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Right then, lets get this part started... Anyone flying already Get in contact, if we can get enough of us together, we could get ourselves a decent field - any suggestions Anyone wanting to learn to fly get in contact and when we get a field you can come down for a chat and get to feel some kit! I have a field but he wont allow anyone else, i also use a microlight club(£40p.a. membership plus insurance), but its on the edge of warwickshire and we could pehaps do with something more central (looking at my chart gaydon, southam, leamington area would be good, but leamington has a ceiling of 3500ft) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lib Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Wahey! I am in Kenilworth. I don't have a set-up at the moment. I am still getting started. Leamington is right on the edge so a launch site there could be OK. Maybe out Southam would be better? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignos Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 anywhere will do, but i was looking to get somewhere centralish, one guy is from stratford, im in rugby. Southam suits me but we need a good field first, i'm looking everytime work takes me that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wodens Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm living in Wednesbury, but there don't seem to be too many people around this way actively involved, so I am looking to travel to wherever I can get in the air. Still waiting for my kit to be ready to collect from Paramania, which is supposed to be early in December, but as soon as I get that I am going to be looking for somewhere to use for ground handling, especially as March was the last time I even got close to a wing. You mentioned Stratford and Rugby - both are equal distance from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignos Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 i went looking for a field today but it was short and had no luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wodens Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I was talking to a farmer a while ago who has land near to the M1/M6 junction and he was going to get back to me on whether he'd let some be used. That was back in early September (I think...) and I'll need to chase him up. I don't really know what restrictions are in place but I'll drag a chart out sometime soon and have a look. Similar to what was mentioned above, I had spoken to a microlight airfield, but they got a bit sniffy when I mentioned paramotors using their field.

edwardc Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Neil Good to see you back with us. Where have you been? Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wodens Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hi Eddie, Had a bit of a health scare either side of the Airvault week, which kept me largely at home, and since then have been travelling like a maniac on business - 64k miles flown so far this year! Thankfully it has quietened down since I changed roles, so I managed to get my motor and wing on order and am just waiting until early December when it should be ready for collection. After that it'll be loads of ground handling before I catch up with Pete to get myself in the air. Really looking forward to it now and I'm glad I waited. Hopefully catch up with you sometime soon. Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny_c Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi Bignos, did you ever get anywhere with your search for a field? I'm just outside Coventry and may be interested in setting something up. Cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
