"Little Annie" was the team bus for an enthusiastic group of competitiors from Wellesbourne (where its based) to Sherburn yesterday. The trip there and back was great fun for all, even if we ended up propping up the bottom of the results table at the aerobatics comp (no, not in the An2!)
The take off may have seemed a little strange and slow, thats because I let a mate of mine have his first go at taking off. Neither of us realised until about 300' that he'd done the whole thing with only half power set!!!!!!!!!!!
Normally, she's airbourne in about 150m and climbs out at about 1500 fpm.
I try and do as much with it with people with an interest as the CAA, ANO and German authorities allow.
If pprune don't see this as advertising (believe me, I don't make a profit!!!) then email me from here and I'll let you know more.
In fact, current plans are to arrive at the pprune fly in on 5th Oct at Sywell in it (as well as transport to the great pprune drinking session in London).
I'll try and do a better job of a flyby there!!!!
