LowNSlow, I'm not sure about 5th April at the moment, but will try to make it.
Re hangarage, I think that I saw an advert on the flyer "groups" forum for a hangar on a farm strip somewhere close(ish) to London.

Cub/Auster Fly in
Thought I'd bring the original thread back up.
So where were we.
Is it a CUB, Auster or Tail Dragger fly in ?
Any of the previous airfields suit some better than others.
Any other places ?
When ?

Did the original poster get his Cub?

Can someone suggest a date.........
Can someone propose a date..... and a venue.........
That way we start working towards something.
Turweston has tarmac and grass (although the latter is too bogged at the moment to use) and no landing fee if you take more than 40 ltrs of fuel.
It has a Cafe which is not always manned.
Know that Shotteswell has nowt in the shape of a Cafe.
Sywell has lots of grass runways and an excellent resto but also a landingfee.
Happy to go anywhere as long as it is not the weekend of 29/30 March.
Any suggestions so that we can bang a note onto the hangar fly in/out page.

Good point!- how about doing one in March to get us started and perhaps, a bigger one in the summer?.
Maybe it might be helpful for those looking to buy to come along and see what we have all been raving about!
Im worried that if we don't get somthing organized soon the whole idea will be forgotton.
What do you think?

Re Cub, I sent you a PM did you follow it up ?
FD,
Yep, I can do any of those dates.
Venue: Its Turweston, Shotteswell or maybe Enstone. I've never been to Shotteswell and only to Enstone and Turweston a few times. Perhaps someone with more local knowledge should make the decision on this... and what about Hinton or Sywell?

Shallwe do 16/3/03;
I would vote for either Sywell or Turdy as both have a cafe.
Happy with either.
Sywell has grass galore and the nicer eatery but there was PPRuNe bash last year. Can get waterlogged if there is mucho rain in the weeks before the event.
Turdy has the tarmac but only one direction 09/27; Turdy closes for departures at 1600 on Sundays.

I can do all the above too. I think that we mustn't lose sight of the need to fly (at least part of the time) out of a strip like Shotteswell - otherwise we won't be able to fly as freely or as much and thus sample the delights of all these exotic machines. After that food and fuel at Wellesbourne, Turweston, Oxford or wherever.

All this talk of Cubs...
...has got me thinking about extending my tail wheel hours. At Sywell (heads up M14P) you can fly a PA18-95 for £58ph and £60pcm with no capital outlay from NSoF. Not bad?
Anyone ever flown ARVO?

I have flown ARVO.
Neat little Cub. I think the wings have been recovered since I flew it (no causal relation I hasten to add!)
Those prices are a lot lower than what I paid 2,5 years ago.
Enlighten us. (sorry must have had snot in the eyes just noticed the 60 pcm) How long do you have to sub for that or can you just do a month and that is it. Does the PCM payment also allow cheaper usage of other machines. So do enlighten us!
Are you coming in ARVO to Turdy on the 16/3 then?

Yes I have flown ARVO. That was my first time in a cub.
I later flew a 180hp "Monster Cub". This was a tug aircraft. I developed a love of the Cub aircraft after seeing how well it performed as a working aircraft.
