Thanks for the response regarding the 'extra weight'. I was not only thinking of the additional weight to the aircraft but also the C of G. and the strength of the nose wheel assembly. Regards, Alan Marriette.

Gary, isn't that a lot of extra weight up front on an already heavy aircraft. Alan.

Not an Ultralight. Alan.

Not trying to be picky here but the aircraft was a Gazelle (nose wheel sky fox ) not a Kitfox. Alan.

This is exactly what my wife does to me before we undertake any sort of aerial activity in the bedroom. (leaping from chandeliers etc ). Alan.

Be very careful as they can certainly cloud your judgement. Alan.

Oh no! not another mental block. Alan.

Flying on Uranus...don't we all do that from time to time? Alan.

It was our new tech man but you wouldn't know him as he was only in the job for eight minutes. . Alan.

I loved the music but you need to change your fuel, that engine was 'pinging' a lot. Alan.

Ian, I now know what your thinking even before you post it. Alan.

Track up or North up, dear oh dear, what is wrong with you guys I use a very simple method:- I get the map for my entire journey and visually scan it with my eyes remembering the entire map, I then turn the map through 90 degrees and do the same thing, I then repeat the process every 90 degrees so that I have memorized all four directions, I then pack the map back into my flight bag and away I go. No matter what direction I am flying in, I can always read names on the map by mentally recalling the first map. Alan.

I had a friend who built a Kitfox and was required to have it changed. Alan.

Thanks for that aj I should have remembered it as I have a brilliant memory but unfortunately I keep loosing it. Alan.

That takes me back a few years, how many of you remember the poem:- The Owl and the Pussy cat went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat, they took some honey and plenty of money, wrapped up in a five pound note, can't remember the other verses. Alan.

Good onya Middo. Alan.

WOW!

No need to rubbish them.....they do it on their own. Alan.

Bugger....that's me grounded. Alan.

Well guys I don't have any of your problems with spelling as I always write in ' plane english' Alan.

I like it Ian, so let's hope that we have a lot of 'likes minded ' people. Alan.

Your right Nev, a mate of mine used to say, "Alan, you should be on the stage and there's one leaving in five minutes". Alan.

I stopped using my Sextant when I had my prostate removed. Alan.

There will be a few Go-pro cameras at the meeting Bruce. Alan.

Welcome to the Forum Alan, looking forward to some new Bright Ideas. Alan.
