Been around aviation for most of my life, mainly models but have flown light aircraft and microlights. I competed at a fairly high level in model aerobatics but have never done any aerobatics full size.

So.....anyone have a similar background and been up with these guys www.ultimatehigh.co.uk ? If so, was it any good? Or are there other setups around that are cheaper/better?

Thanks for the replies peeps.

I too was chatting to them at Goodwood on Thursday. Was quite early in the day and due to there not being a lot of people around it was quite a long chat!

Im based around 30 mins from Goodwood along the A27 and what really piqued my interest was the fact they are due to fly from there. I'm not overly bothered about flying aerobatics for aerobatics sake, I'm far more interested in the ACM side of things, (yes I know that's still aerobatics but chasing another plane sounds like much more fun!!)

I have pulled +5 and -3 G's in a glider due to a winch rope breaking, and am aware that the Extra can load you up quite a lot more then this if you ask it to.

I think I'm answering my own question here arnt I?? biggrin

What were the reasons? Or is that not up for discussion?
