Why do it if it's not fun?

Read you account frm 2001 - thanks. Can I ask...was it at White Waltham by any chance?

...and how many hours did your conversion take?
I guess that question's directed at me?

Yes, it was at White Waltham. Took (from memory) about 4 or 5 hours to get signed off initially - but that was only very basic, just on grass, and 3-pointers only. I then went to America, and the school I rented the Super Cub from there wouldn't sign me off on it until I mastered wheel-landings on tarmac in 20kt x-winds - which took another 8 hours, but was some of the best flying instruction I've ever received!
