Well,
That's taking dwarf - throwing to a new level.

EDIT: Sorry, that's probably not PC, perhaps I should have said 1/10 scale human - throwing

Hi Dave

No not been up for a couple of weeks.

Currently down in Newquay with the family on holiday.

I wanted to bring the Radian but the boss put her foot down.

Just as well really as the weather here has been dreadful.

So, someone else is intercepting your airspace?

I bet he has no idea what power you have under the hood!!

Well.. if he knows the Champ, he'd be a little surprised but I think we'd have a Swordfish/Me109 situation. I doubt the Super Cub can fly as slow as the Champ so in a slalom race, I could out turn him easily As far as straight line speed goes, the Champ wouldn't even come close in a dive
I have to say having seen it, the Super Cub flies really well in winds that would ground the Champ (as they were yesterday). They dropped for a short time yesterday evening so I grabbed the Champ and was about to leave the house when I looked out of the back window and saw the Cub above the chimney's again. Not wanting to die of embarrassment.. I stayed in I was going to take it out again this morning but while I've been typing this, I can see the wind has picked up to storm force Champ again (above 5mph) so it's pointless me putting the wellies on. I really need something a bit more durable cause to be honest, I'm bored sh1tless with the Champ now. While I'm still not earning, there's no chance of anything new though. Not a happy chappy Still.. I've had to get road tax for the Triumph this month and the insurance is due for the 406 tomorrow followed by the Skoda in August. I should have decalared the Triumph SORN, taken the 406 off the road and bought an all singing 6ch txer and the Icon instead

You could knock spots off him with a Cessna 182 RTF

Fear not mate.. I've already considered contacting you Surprising how inconsequential something like a runway can be (or lack of) when you get desparate I don't suppose you can get a float set for it can you?
