James Middleton Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I have some previous experience and I'm looking to return. I have updated my JR X388S with a 2.4 module. I flew a Gangster52 and a TrueLine Tiger, back-in-the-day. I hope it's like "riding-a-bike". I don't want to go back to a "High-winger". I just want something fun to build to get me "back-in-the-saddle". Can anybody point me towards plans for a PA-28 (or even a PA-20...I know, it's a high-winger, but I have some affection for it!). Also, I live on the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire border and will be looking for somewhere to fly. My old club (Corby & District) does not appear to be too active (Facebook), There's another at Market Harborough...any suggestions?...anybody? Also, also,...what's all this about "Certificates/Licences"???...In the old-days we just used to turn-up and FLY!!! Forgot to mention, (re. plans)...I have a couple of brand-new ST 51's so, 50/60 inch wingspans anticipated.

Andy48 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Given our British weather, the building season extends the full year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Might be better to get some practice in with a Wot4 or similar first before using the Gangster which is now unobtainable in 52 inch version. The smaller foam Wot4 seems a likely candidate for a practice model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Williams Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Corby club still active James, website here. Suggest you email the secretary. Used to be a member there until I moved to the other side of the country. They fly on part of the old Spanhoe airfield, between Harringworth, Wakerley and Laxton. You will need to arrange to meet someone to take you in as there is a locked gate off the road, and the patch is a good way from the road. There is a club at North Luffenham too. You can get contact details from the club finder page of the BMFA website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moved there after being "evicted" from the old site (near RS Components). That was back in the late 90s. An excellent site (Spanhoe) I used to fly there around 6:00am (yes 6:00am!!!)...after I finished night-shift, nearby...those were the days, eh?..."No flying before 9:30am" now!!! Thank's again, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
