    Thats what they all say mate!
  7. Yeah it was pretty cool! Im actually just looking at how much it will cost to get me a PPL so i can learn to fly... god i need a job
  8. Well this is my latest adventure and it was truely amazing. I had an aerobatic flight is this little plane, a Pitts Special 2A. I got to do barrel rolls, loops, snap turns, stall recovery, inglerom manauvres and every other type of manouvre you can think of ! Unfortunatly though it wasnt the slightest bit scary, i thought being such a little plane it would be jumping all over the place. But to be honest the plane ride was so smooth it felt completly normal whilst doing all the aerobatics. The only annoying thing was that i really wanted to know how much g we were pulling in some of the manouvres but it was waaaayy to much to get my head forward to see the guages! Anyway all i can say is that this IS one of the things you have to do before you die! And now i have decided that im going to have to learn to Fly. With my latest two hobbies of scuba and skydiving, along with motorbikes, cars and eventually flying im going to have to get a proper job!

  14. It was originally done, but its hard enough to get some users to post at all, let alone route plans etc so we got rid of it

  21. Alex replied to picolpen's topic in Yamaha Workshop
    Do they have smaller jets?
  22. Yeah as scott says check that the actual starter is turning, as it could also be the connections at the end of the solenoid. The solenoid may be throwing across but when it reaches the contact which makes the connection to start the starter maybe dirty.
  23. Yeah they can be a nightmare half of mine unwound with the studs, which made it easier to replace them!
