Nice Week End, Plane & race cars : good mix !


This Week-End was the Airfield Open Day. Lots of people came and lots of them wanted to go up for introrides in the gliders. That means I had a lot of towing to do, which is great news for me.
A friend of mine also came from Toulouse with a Caterham car, and I got to try it and drive it !!!! Really nice toy ! 175HP for 500kgs, crazy accelerations and awesome to drive. I love it !
I've got a picture from the internet of the exact same car, same paint job, same everything, I'll post a pict of the one I drove when I'll empty my camera's memory card.

Quick update

I've been busy since I arrived here at LFIM, and I didn't updated that blog since. So it's time for a quick update...
I'm now flying that MS893A Rallye, it's an easy aircraft to handle, very nice to fly, ultra simple instrumentation, rugged. I like it so far, it's really different from IFR flying, but I like the way of flying as a tug pilot.
I take off and land every 5 to 10 minutes, descents at high rates, trying to optimize flight time and shorten it, and performing soft-field, short runway and high slope angle approaches in the same time. I think it's gonna sharpen my pilots skills more than any runway patterns I ever did during initial training.
I also got to fly some gliders which is also nice, especially if that is a competition glider like the latest Binder (EB28 Edition), with a wing-span over 28 meters !! and a best glide ratio at 65 !! Amazing.

Some more news to follow someday next weeks. I upload here a few photos of the amazing Binder Glider.
