Great write up...

Question - does the LLR have a convention of which 'side' you fly depending upon direction (e.g. north bound fly on the left?) - I don't have a chart to hand to check if that is the case.

as I got over the numbers, the aircraft sank rapidly and any back pressure on the controls would have resulted in an immediate stall – so a lot of power was needed
It's these little gems that make this thread so interesting and informative - and keeps us learning all the time.

The fly in at Tatenhill sounds great - that might be one of the land aways on my upcoming QXC.

No flying for me this morning in Yorkshire due to wind and rain at Sandtoft, but good to see the Jet Provost out there still prep'd and ready to go.

Whirlybird - I might treat myself to a trial lesson in a 22 or 44 once I've the PPL in the bag. I've been up once before and thought it was fantastic - especially the autorotation demos ;-)
