100 mph in a Luton Minor!!!!!!!!!
(Picks myself off of floor).
You have got to be kidding!
Having also owned shares in a couple of Luton Minors and flown alongside a Fred I have to agree with wizzy (I MUST know you!).
Low and Slow you are probably too heavy for a Luton Minor unless its got an uprated engine on it.
The 1600cc VW has about a 11/12 stone limit on it, not much more on the 1800cc and with that the climb performance is going to be crap (yes, even more crap than usual!)
You may have problems climbing into a Luton.
Cruise is around 40-60mph usually.
Damn good fun. Endurance is more a case of human endurance, certainly in the cooler months.
A cheap fun machine though. 2 gallons of fuel per hour.
I agree that its best to buy into a group or start a group if you can, to share out the costs and also the maintenance, etc.
