Ask about any minimum contract period. I forgot to! You fly the other aircraft such as the HR200 Robin (not Blue...), Cesspot, Warrior, Pitts and Tiger. Membership is £90 pa.

Also have been considering Rex Ford's RB Group at Sywell, but that's recently changed imo to the detriment of it's affordability.

Another thing that may be coming my way is a... dum dum dum...Kitfox.

Good to do the ground work on opportunities during the Winter methinks

Anyone ever flown ARVO?

Yes, she's a little poppet. My current favourite machine for an hour's circuits and bumps, even more than the Tiger (though only because I'm rather tall, stickup a long way, and thereby find the Tiger a bit draughty and cold.)

No flaps, very simple, very light, sideslips beautifully, touchdown speeds so low that even that funny up-and-down bit at the threshold end of 25 at Sywell becomes a little hill rather than a big bump - just fly gently up this side, then down the other, all as you round out... Any ex air cadet of a certain age would, I think, find the handling and overall experience strangely similar to the old Slings T-31 glider, except with a vastly more sensitive rudder power due to the slipstream.

Doesn't have the take-off acceleration of the more common 150 hp versions, of course, and like all low-powered machines there's quite a difference in take off run when two-up, but it all happens at such low speeds that you don't use up a lot of room even if it seems to take quite a long time.

Some time fairly soon she will have a fuselage re-cover and come out yellow and silver, though I think the current blue is rather nice as well.
