it is in man's nature to regulate themselves and especially the ones
that insist on having fun.>>
Hi Larry,
there is certainly some truth in that. In the UK we have specified
microlights as being below a certain all up weight,and they must have a
stall speed less than a set figure. The stall speed must also interact
with the wing area to stop the development of high speed `lead sleds`.
This was the reason that the Extra was only approved with vortex
generators as without them the required low stall speed was not
attainable.
Consequently we now have machines in the microlight category which
cruise happily with 2 up at over 100 mph on 11 litres an hour with
several hours range.
Admittedly we are rather more regulated than you but at least we do not
have your problems with build/design quality.Particularly in the second
hand market. Any plane flying here will have had the build quality
checked during construction and the design will have been tested and
approved for engineering/aerodynamic integrity.
We have recently introduced another category of very, very light weight
and very relaxed rules. This is producing one or two interesting
designs.
Although we moan at the restrictions and Europe keep interfering when we
look at other countries restrictions we are lucky. I don`t think that
Switzerland for instance allow any microlights at all unless they have
changes recently.
Cheers
Pat

Hello Bill.
Thanks for the kudos on my video. It was my first attempt at using the Windows
Movie Maker software that came free on my ancient yet still serviceable Computer.
I believe you are right on part 103. It is the way I'm interpreting it anyway.
My indicated airspeed is typically between 60 and 65 mph so I'm still at the limit
anyway. The reason probably is that I'm only 150 pounds with my clothes on.
I think I read somewhere that the never exceed speed for the firefly was 80
mph so a ground speed of 70 is fine with me. Don't really need to go much faster
than that anyway. It's quick enough to get me to the pancake breakfasts in
the area. Flew with a Super Cub a month ago on the way to one. He had to dial
in some flap to stay back with me but was a trooper and stayed with me about
15 minutes. It was fun flying formation with somebody else. Wish I had somebody
to fly with more often.

This was on the Texas Gulf coast just a few miles southwest of Freeport. Wind
was from the north but the beach (obviously) slants down toward the water to the
south, made the landing interesting. The camera changed files just before
landing which made that part pretty choppy. It was fun though.

Just a quick run down to the coast this morning and landing
on the beach. Pretty good cross wind but at least the beach
was relatively clear.

Thanks,

Allan/Kolbers:
Your video brought back some very good memories of the Texas
coast. Four of us flew from Beaumont, down the beach low
level, to the Rio Grande River. On the way we RON'd in the
FBO at Mustang Beach Airport. We were lucky that the wind
was off the water, although very strong, not a ripple in the
air.
We turned right at the Rio Grande, flying it until we
reached Del Rio, where we camped out on the field. Next
morning we flew north up the Rio Grande to the Pecos River,
then up the Pecos to the Interstate, turned east to Houston.
John Williamson, Kolbra, and Ken Korenek, Titan, flew to
Arlington, TX. Gary Haley, MKIIIC, and I, MKIIIC, Flew to
Gary's airstrip west of Houston. Next day I flew back to
Gantt International Airport, Titus, Alabama. BTW that flight
was conducted the first of December 2005.
Was going to attach some photos of the flight, but
unfortunately do not have any on this lap top. ;-(

Thanks John. I'd certainly be interested in seeing those if you come across them
at some point. Sounds like it was a very interesting and enjoyable trip.
