PeterF Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Many thanks for a pleasant and enjoyable trip to your club. You certainly have a very nice patch, well mown and wide, it made the decision to fly the Tiggie a lot easier. I had flown it a few days previously in 10mph winds and it handled those so I was happy, I am sure the wind was lower than 14mph in the morning when I flew, but unluckily after lunch it was just too much. Nonetheless, it was a dry mouth flight the first time. Regarding the picture in front of tree, I like to think that this is a telephoto lens effect and not me really being that close.

Night flying wouldn't be night flying without the goblins. It's the king goblin that's the problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 iqon The early Ford EcoTec diesels had a 'life time' DPF fitted. The problem is that its actual life, about 100,000 miles, is well short of the life of the diesel engine! Once blocked the DPF has to be be removed and specialist cleaned (success not guaranteed) or replaced. Neither option is particularly cheap and when you throw in the reliability (not!) of the ECU and the sensors which control everything you can have a car than is mechanically perfectly sound but requires replacement parts whose cost far exceed the value of the car! The later DPFs have inbuilt 'cleaning cycles' so stand a sporting chance of matching the life of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Manuel Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Ha haa. Even the King Goblin can't ground me for long. Bixler lives to fly another day - or should that be another night? Ready to go again next weekend. I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
