Tumbleweeds and Skyranger Swift

Hello All,

Just when you thought that the tumbleweed had taken over the blog site, then it comes back to life!

Its been far too long since my last blog post on what's happening at the field and all things Microlighting.Since January we have had to choose our flying days wisely, seems that even the good days are far too wet and windy.And dont get us started on the so-called BBC weather forecasters (BBC Northern Ireland's Angie Phillips has a lot to answer for)

Nevertheless, we are still flying when the weather allows so dont be shy in getting in touch for your first lesson.

We've seen a few more students getting started on their training over the last few weeks, and a new arrival at the airstrip - a Skyranger Swift



Skyranger Swifts start their life as a box of tubes in a cardboard box, and after a few months non-stop work are transformed into quite an aeroplane. Performance in many respects outstrips many (of what most people would call) 'proper' aircraft.An Airborne trike will sit happily at 70-75mph, a Swift will just leave it standing with its engine almost just ticking over.

Quite remarkable....and for sale I'm afraid - so get in touch if you're interested.
Lots of other Microlight stuff happening, so keep checking back as I wont leave it for another 3 months for my next post

Regards, Victor
