Hi folks I have a grin from ear to ear! Today the conditions were great not perfect but hey its Scotland in September! Fueled up did all the checks 4 pumps of the throttle mags off 4 turns of prop to draw fuel up, chocks checked contact first swing of prop and off she went! Taxied down wind to end of runway turned checked mags checked all surfaces and opened the throttle and off she went wow climb rate was a heady 200 fpm but who cares with the wind in your hair (eek I am bald) and nothing to worry about I dont think flying gets any better!
2 hours flying for a fuel outlay of 18 litres £17.65 yup I like it, motorbiking in the sky!
