Well today I finally took the plunge and started to learn to fly my Luton Minor! I started by taxying up and down the runway looking for the inevitable ground loop and sure enough I found it or was it found me
Not as terrifying as I first imagined plenty of room and virtually no speed, it was drummed into me not above walking pace down wind. I then progressed onto lifting the tail which is a novel experience after 100 hours in trikes! The best part was the experience of chocks and hand starting the VW engine was a delight to start and idled beautifully. I am typing this with a grin on my face the likes of which was last there after my first solo, hope this thread is not out of place but I just had to share my experience.
John.
