martin davey Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Forty odd years in fact, but needing something to replace work and occupy my mind during the last year I bought a plan and then a kit and then another plan which is currently under construction. So I nearly have three planes in the hanger, but still haven't flown yet, except on the simulator, even my gliding course got cancelled during this time. So looking forward to taking to the air again to see how I fair after all this time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookman Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 It's a bit like falling off logs, once you get good at it you never forget. Radio has moved on a bit. That is going to be steepest part of your relearning curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
