If you want to join the 'Mile high club' then it has to be a Thruster. :ecstatic:but requires an endorsement.Alan.

God, you're a bad man, but now we know why you have a smile on your face.

Such is experience!

I'm just interested in more info on the Endorsment

I'll be blowed if I'd let any of the instructors I know sign me off on that one:naughty:054_no_no_no.gif.950345b863e0f6a5a1b13784a465a8c4.gif

No offence meant to any instructors I know:roflmao:

Instructor must be of the opposite sex, be a certified contortionist, and the check flight for the endorsement must take a minimum of one hour.

 

Depending on the health status of the student the endo can be split up into four 15 minute excursions.

Yes I am lightweight (70 kilos), anyone much heavier would probably not be fit enough to pass the test.096_tongue_in_cheek.gif.d94cd15a1277d7bcd941bb5f4b93139c.gifAlan.

Guernsey, ya might only be 70Ks and I'm not a betting man, but I'd wager that you'd be hard pressed to pass the 'test' in a Thruster, on the ground, in a hangar & behind closed doors. Rebut that you dirty old dreamer! 006_laugh.gif.0f7b82c13a0ec29502c5fb56c616f069.gif cheers Riley

Step 1 . Make sure alt hold is set to 1 mile , (6030 ft ? )

 

Step 2 . Undo seat belt .

 

Step 3 .

The second photo says it all.So it's really an Avocet "Sandman" passion wagon, ideal for the drive-in movies.

Leaves all sorts of thoughts about trying to land across the mounds at the Drive In.
