Flying in to the LAA rally 2024

[@neilfoster814]

Many years ago I used to fly a D112, G-DAVE from a farm strip in Lincolnshire. Yorkshire and Norfolk were the usual destinations.

[@dave1981sam]

I remember G-DAVE being at Crowland in the mid 90's onwards.

[@neilfoster814]

@@dave1981sam When I used to fly it, it was based at Dave Porter's strip at Temple Bruer.

Was there in BANU in Saturday.

Haha with the Stearman and Chippie and co, you were stood next to me lol. My video of the day is out Saturday, so maybe have a look to see if you are in mine! Great video nevertheless!

[@1976PEZZA]

Nice video. I was there in G-BKAO, very similar to yours. Where did you get your Jodel logo on your rudder? I would love to get something similar.

@@1976PEZZA it was already on there when I bought it, I do make vinyl signs though so I could probably make you something similar in vinyl

​@@1976PEZZAAre your seats as uncomfortable as mine? I get out looking like Albert Steptoe lol

@@shadowwings8005 Absolutely. I had some good leather cushions made but after two hours my back is in bits! Planning to take her on a three day trip down to the West Country in a couple of weeks with the Halton Flying Club. Over 8 hours of flying planned. Will definitely need to see the chiropractor after that!

Nice movie. RE: Europa - you will be welcome in the Europa Club, the help network is second to none.

[@shadowwings8005]

@@ideas66 thank you, I have never flown in one but have always loved the design

[@LZ4099]

For Christs sake don’t buy a Europa they are horrid things. Old adage ‘if it looks right etc ‘ and they don’t and horirid horrid things to work on. Stick to your lovely Jodel and enjoy a proper aeroplane.

[@shadowwings8005]

really you don't think they look right? Everything I have read or heard about them is how nicely they fly

@@shadowwings8005 You need the taller cabin version and nose wheel. If it has a 912 with Turbo and wobbly prop it will fly nice but...The turbo gets seriously hot on taxi. The fuel pipes run through the fuselage construction and are a devil to replace, the whole fuel system is over complicated. You can pull the wings and tailplane off. A complex but handy tourer. not the easiest to maintain.
