  1. Don't forget to tell us about the "distant places" you have visited!
  2. Looks like a great day was had by all ‼️
  3. That looks like a nice flight Mike. Happy new year.
  4. That XL looks nice. Enjoy!!
  5. You were still safe: C172 VNE (IAS) = 163 kn.

  10. 🇮🇹 This is an Italian-registered ICP Ventura.
  11. One of our Aero Club members died in this very sad incident, unnecessarily. 😔
  12. In war, many things operate right on the margin. The engine numbers were probably ground off to enhance the power to weight ratio.
  13. Thanks onetrack: that is very comprehensive. It is remarkable how many times a good aircraft design has come to the surface, to the point where a few are made and flown, and then it is ultimately abandoned (probably for economic reasons).
  14. I am really sorry to hear (and see) what has happened to your Bue Budgie, Guy. When you rebuild her, hopefully you can find a hangar which is located a bit higher above sea level/flood level.

  16. That is a lot of fuel JG3‼️ One litre of mogas weighs 0.737 kg. Your 544 kg MTOW aircraft (and ultralight predecessors before that) have lifted a total of 35 tons of fuel.
