Thanks for posting those shots Peter. I got the email off JF a couple of days ago but even discounted, couldn't be moved to buy it. Undeterred.. I bought the Iris F-15 Eagle instead and jolly nice it is too

Typo error there-should be 'does not appeal at all' :redface: EricT

Hi Dave.Perhaps a Freudian slip there as we will be moving to Edinburgh to be near our daughter when we can sell our place.Ben tells me that he will keep me supplied with beer when we move there.Between you and me,I think he may be joking.

I think you're right there Eric. He only works for the company.. he doesn't own it (worse luck as I could buy my beer cheaper)!!

Well this little bird appeals to me because it can takeoff and land, fully loaded, from a 2500 feet runway...That means I can visit my favourite Georender airfields provided I can order ahead, a JetA bowser. It carries 250 gallons and that gives it a max range of 1400 nms. The max cruise speed is M0.67 at FL410 and a typical cruise groundspeed is 330 kts.

Yes, I'm going to have a lot of fun getting this pocket rocket in and out of some tiny places. Naturally, I'll base it here at McLeland Field and I'll start some trials with it today

Oh yes, I nearly forgot, it is a six seater so I can take more of my "Bandit Enterprises" staff with me

Yes Jonesey...Much shorter flight times and in and out of small places...I'm getting really interested in it. BTW...Posted your DVD today.
