    Cheers Tim Very disappointing that I couldn't make it across from here as I have been waiting for months for this weekend to arrive but the wind was relentless here and it is not worth dying for I would have had a very slow trip across as the winds were 45kts at 2500ft and stronger the higher you went and also cloud was almost down to the ground at a Horsham with 4000 meters visibility going by the AWIS from 6am right through to 11am as I kept on checking Glad you had a great turn out as it you deserve it I'll find a weekend soon with a big high and forecast manageable winds load the swag up again and fly over and catch up in any case for the weekend Will keep in touch Cheers Alf

    Hi Matt, Did you get out of Penfield and across to Sherlock? I was stymied at West Sale greeted with 20kt winds with gusts of 30 on the ground Not to mention the 45kt headwind I was going to encounter at 2500ft Horsham AWIS also showed cloud down to 600ft and vis of 4000 meters up until around 10:30am That put a stop on it for me Alf

    You rended first aid to the occupants, the end result probably would not of changed much had you not Your human instinct to help kicked in and you should not be criticised for that We as humans are not perfect, did you contribute to the mans death? I don't think so even if you moved him Hindsight is a good thing after the fact Head high Gibbo you did your best whether right or wrong

    Pretty sure Tim will help you out with that

    Oscar At the end of the day the force landing didn't go well and a pancake arrival looks to occurred for which you cannot lay blame to the aircraft for that If the aircraft was flown controlled all the way in to the force landing the result may have been far different Yes the rear bulkhead looks to have parted and compromised the seat belts but that may very well have been from the type of arrival it under took for which the aircraft was not designed for

    Valid point Guernsey, but!!!!!!! Jacky boy is not after modern day stuff like ours He will probably just melt them down and sell the aluminium ingots and EBay the instruments

    Hmmm not one I'd be chasing, but then again it is all up to the individual on the day And really I'm after nothing more than catching up with Tim but this time flying in instead of driving in

    Skippydiesel Rotax being a dry sump what oil in the canister is the oil level I always check it again before flight in any case As for the modules, we'll my take on it is less heat the better post shutdown, yes they probably are designed for heat soak but I am figuring if I let the latent heat dissipate by opening the cowl hatches I'm doing the modules a favour by not letting them soak up the heat Plus opening the cowl hatches takes all of 2 seconds a side. Cheers Alf

    I usually burp mine after the flight I find the oil comes back in to the canister much easier Also allows me to look over the hot engine for leaks with the cowls open Another reason is I like the cowls open to not bake the ignition modules with the latent heat of a hot engine

    Having flown both in the A22LS I prefer the Y stick to the wheel, I found that with full span ailerons/ flapperons the Y stick. gave more leverage and felt much lighter in the roll axis compared to the control wheel which felt stiff and slow Also with the stick you get electric trim with a trim gauge, one thing I don't like about the trim on the control wheel one was there was no markings on the slide telling you where trim is to be set for takeoff Just my opinion Alf

    Mark In my biased opinion the P2002 just looks so much sleeker and refined than the high wings

    Was a ripper JF previously VH rego to RAA for sale in the Recreational Aviation Members market a couple of weeks back but only lasted 3 days before it was gone Had full GA panel and 800hrs TT for 70K They never last long once they become up for sale

    I have owned a P2002 for the last 4 1/2 years and absolutely love it, over 400hrs in it in that time and cannot fault it in any way shape or form Best looking rec aircraft in the market in my bias opinion along with faultless flying qualities
  24. alf jessup
    Hi Mark I cannot fault the Sierra in any way shape or form Comfortable, economical, brilliant flying qualities, docile, responsive and so easy to land and absolutely no bad quirks about it plus it is IMO the best looking aircraft out there in the light sport range Mine is not a JF model Cheers Alf

    Hi Mark I have 525 hrs on the airframe now, had 184 on it when I got it 4 1/2 years ago Love it still Cheers Alf
