The biggest problem is finding a " legal " area to practice & see if you can afford a ' electric aircraft club membership . Locally we have a ' club ' field that is empty 6 days a week . But Of course the council does not want the none-paying public to use it , when empty. spacesailor

  9. England has " vast " underground caverns. That were useful! ' before the " anti- coal " ,people shut them down . What an ' opportunity ' to use those mines again, Just to stuff them full of toxic waste. Stop subsidence & hide that waste for the next millennium or two. spacesailor
  10. IT & OTHERS Were ' registered flying " HummBirds " . Just a " Bureaucratic " wave of a pen , To remove a certain ' aircraft ". Those with ' time ' in service were " grandfathered " . Those registered aircraft , without time, will have to be reconfigured for a different category. Or used for display purposes. One out of 18 builders, I know of , one reregistered . spacesailor

  19. Mostly in the forward view, for both take- off and landing . Until they put the tail-wheel up front .LoL. spacesailor
  20. I have been advised " that the exhaust silencer Is Not required " with a " turbo " . As it chopps the highs of the noise, by way of that spinning turbo, & that silencer is slowing the gasses Passing through the turbo . I haven't tried it yet , but have seen one with only a ' particulate filter ' only . it wasn't that much louder . spacesailor
  21. That's a goog reason to hold , until you have a positive diagnosis. As long as you refrain from doing anything, detrimental to your health . spacesailor
