very nice Ian - but you can't sleep four people in it, cook a meal in it or go to the toilet in it - well nicely at least !

Looks good fun though

This is how I get my fun when not driving my Cappy - lighter than a cappy, up to 90mph, and no speed cameras to worry about.

I tell a lie, it's my job nowadays

Looks like a Cappo at Coldtiz castle :lol:

What is it Joan and what's the job - aerial photography?

It's a Thruster microlight - about 250kg empy weight, two seats, maximum speed about 90mph though normal cruise is about 70mph, and a climb rate of just under 1000feet per minute with one person on board. The other one's my Cappy.

I was made redundant a few years ago, and because I was tired of my previous profession (engineering), my dearly beloved agreed to me taking the pay cut to become a flying instructor. I now run my own one-man-band flying school.

:idea: Come to think of it, I should put an advert in SCORE mag. I'm sure anybody who likes Cappies must like a go at this...

I had one of the 1960's 500's Tracy - amazing how well 2 cylinders worked- good fun to drive - if heavily under-powered

There'll be an advert in the next 'Latest SCORE', but for anybody who can't wait, my web site details are on my user profile (click on the 'profile' button under one of my postings).

Best wishes

Indeed, but then I was comparing my hairyplane with a Cappo, not a Jaguar :wink:
