Cosmick

Quite the contrary, she looks good. I remember when the Savs first came out they looked quite agricultural but now just sweet. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...............

Looks pretty schmick Mick.

Oh and I forgot, pay the freight in both directions

Yep, Farmers, buy everything at retail, sell everything at wholesale.

2 stroke endorsement intrigues me. I leant to fly Group A in a Tecnam 912uls 4 stroke but do I have a 4 stroke endorsement ?. i learnt Group D in an Aerochute with a 503 2 stroke but I don't physically have a 2 stroke endorsement. Whats hard about a 2 stroke - plugs, fuel and air filter , gear box oil. lot less maintenance than a 4 stroke. With the x-air question, if you hold endorsements for the configuration of the Aircraft that should be all you NEED but flying with someone experienced would be a benefit. Plenty of upper air work to sort out stall and glide speeds at different stages of flap etc. What if your getting a single seater, what could you do then.

Is that dialing with 'No Hands'

Seb at Roma is selling his GT500 (like a drifter with doors or without + extra 15kts)

If you could lay your hands on a 503 go for it but they are getting very hard to come by.

Great song, Great Video. Optional L/H and R/H circuits ?

The Greenies will be on to you ................

Why do you have to APPLY each time, nothing has changed, hopefully they still have all the details, if I'm a bad guy and I've been naughty am I going to tell them. Maybe they are just checking that I got my name right all those other times. Yes I may have changed address but send a printout and advise of any changes and attach cheque here.

Berocca would help

Not many Sav Pilots use the 2nd stage of flaps. I found that on a glide approach and 2nd stage she was all over the place so for glide approach most use 1st stage or none at all. I have only landed STOL with an instructor a couple of times and he was on the controls under power approach with 2nd stage and stopped on a dime. Certainly not something to try without instruction.

No details received as yet.

Check out how quick this gets down (Thanks Frog) may just be a Parachute [MEDIA=vimeo]128451491[/MEDIA]

Yeah Shafs, the two Tecnam Echo's Goldie (younger) and Silverado.

Yes the uncontrolable shake in the leg (right rudder) first solo and after a long break or a different plane. Just ask Neil (Jaffa) how nervous I get. Neil would say "Relax Cozi". White knuckles on the stick. Deep breath. One thing that helps me is what Icarus said above. Study the strength of the aircraft your flying avg +4, -2 at MTOW. Look at old Silverado at GOFLY, over 7000hrs last time I looked.
