I see a lot of mention on exhibiters and visiting aircraft. Did any of you attend any of the excellent educational forums? Not well marketed, but very good if you found out about them.
I had a good time, but as an aircraft builder I managed to source several bits I needed at very good prices, so I have a different outlook on it to most people. The only cost I would criticise is the camping. I was there for three nights so £20 was ok, but several members wanted to camp for one night and people tried to charge them the full £20. The result was they found a local sight and paid £5.
One other point, nothing much will happen to the PFA in 2008. Home built aircraft are exempt from the regulations! Permits will go on as normal for home builds, and others may join subject to a strong PFA putting up a good fight, or not, as the case may be!
