Reminds me of the time this guy asked a bloke whether he wanted him to carry his bag, he said "No, let her walk"075_amazon.gif.0882093f126abdba732f442cccc04585.gif

Well I believe I was even smarter....I was married with three children when my wife took a job at the Guernsey Airport ( I built our house next to the airport ) as a cleaner so that I could learn to fly.

 

I was of course working full time plus a part time job driving taxis in the evening to support the family, but her entire income she dedicated to my flying and has continued through our married life and

 

contributed to the various aircraft we have owned. Even though we are now on pensions, she still saves up to buy me things which are aviation related, headset, Plb etc. etc.

 

Very happily married Alan.012_thumb_up.gif.cb3bc51429685855e5e23c55d661406e.gif.

I take it that you married both the protoype, and entire production run of that variant!

Yeah bit of a worry ain't I... what's even more a worry is that I can remember these sort of one liners! 084_chase.gif.a3cab873b9247ad7d295882b8a53a985.gif

Tomo, other than the alientating 50% of the populace, the early onset of dementia in someone sub 21 is a significant concern!!

Yes the prototype was an early model ultralight with a high performance two stroke and then progressively increased in weight with a more powerful engine, a much better performance, much better handling, a more comfortable ride and all the bells and whistles....that's why I still weigh only 70 kilos.008_roflmao.gif.692a1fa1bc264885482c2a384583e343.gif.

No....weight reduces performance.giggle.gif.9fbf2613564ad555277246f6add2d17e.gif.

Alan you are treading on very thin ice with that comment LOL

Not really William as I was naturally thinking in aeronautical terms 037_yikes.gif.f44636559f7f2c4c52637b7ff2322907.gif. If I was well hung I would weigh an extra 5 kilos at least, which would reduce the aircraft's performance, it would be like having a 'Haggis ' stuck between my legs and you know what they weigh 109_groan.gif.66f71fc85b2fabe1695703d67c904c24.gif . It would also limit my performance duration as I would have to carry less fuel in the aircraft.033_scratching_head.gif.b541836ec2811b6655a8e435f4c1b53a.gif.

 

Do ye ken what I'm talkin aboot.
