Yep, me!

Do some slope soaring, but mainly electrics. At the mo, I've got :-

Reichard Sprinter - very fast electric soarer (140mph or so)
GWS A-10 - was powered but is now a sloper
Robbe Concord - electric
Electric Spitfire - in build
V-tail slope racer - in box waiting for the winter building season
Own design electric flying wing - awaiting covering

Also posted a pic of my old own design BN Islander from about 12 years ago when electric flight was, erm... difficult!

Oh, and all I did today was nursed my hangover

Hi Apache

I have a couple of trainers an easy pidgeon and a mustang Seagull version.

Had a couple of PT19 fairchilds but they are now no more liked them though.

Took my 12 year old and put himon the buddy leads today for second time geeze he's picked up more in to days than I have in years. He will be teaching me how to fly the mustang soon.

Cheers JB

Taught my lad Callum to fly last easter. Bought him a Robbe motor glider for Christmas.

Guess how long it took him to go from never having touched a plane before, to self launching, mild aeros and landing?

2 hours!!!

2 bl00dy hours!!!

Thats the playstation generation for you!

I took the lad out today and found the buddy leads were knacked so thought what the hell i'll let him stand in front of me and grab the box off him is something goes wrong.

He turned too quickly and kept it on till it was inverted I tried to grab the box but he said," it's ok dad Iv'e got it he flipped it back and carried on in the rectangular circuit I was trying to teach him. Second flight he say's" Oh I'm fed up can't I go the other way round." before we landed he was doing procedural turns and circuits both way's.

It took me 3 planes and god knows how many years of sticking them back together after taking them home in a carrier bag before I mastered it.

I think I am still very much a novice but normally get home with the things in one piece now.
