Depending how much interest you have in flights, I can make mine available for a few peeps.

Chris

Thinking about this again.
If there is a small group that would like to do 20-30mins of aerobatics- loops, rolls, cubans, etc I could arrange that too for approx £30 each.
Cost again arbitrary as it'll be purely non profit & cost share basis.
Not my aircraft this time so I'll need plenty of notice to arange for aircraft availability.
Probably one of these, but not this particular one.


Let me know.
Chris
ps I won't be missing out on the runs doing this will I???

5.7 miles hehe GW
No probs up there, you can go more or less where you want & hardly anyone knows when you miss a turn, you just do it later
Also inverted, left becomes right & vice versa, come & try it. We'll have you doing loops & aileron rolls rotate after a couple of minutes easy yes
Spins are not for the faint hearted though, only one rule- if you vomit you clean it up...
And don't forget to bring your camera.

I also have a friend who is prepared to take peeps in his Pitts S2, he flies in the UK squad in the world championships, pretty good...
Best not to have lunch just before this one though

I only vomit when I take my eyes off the horizon, so taking a book is not a good idea.

Trouble is we may be on holiday this year so we may miss it, but if we're here I may give you another chance to prove you know where your going.

No problem- if you fancy doing it some other time it can be arranged easily.
Just let me know yes
