My parents are in Scarborough and I would love to fly over that part of the country, the moors must quite a sight from above.
I am not really brave just stupid and stubborn, built my own house so figured that a plane was the next logical step, or a kit car, but as aviation has been a passion since before I can remember the plane won.
I am lucky in that the ICP factory is only 3 hours drive away so spares and advice are not too far. I went there a few months back and stayed in a wonderful old world hotel and was treated to a fly-in (I put some photos in the media section) and then the following day a tour of the factory. ICP are a genuine small family firm that really care about what they make and are very active in promoting aviation. I have an engine lined up which is currently being reconditioned. Radio and other avionics (such that they are) are almost decided. Colours and finishings are still a thorn in my side and probably always will be. Last but not least I have to prepare the house for the onslaught, the garge is almost ready just need to empty it of junk and stick a few more tiles down.
