About This Blog
This blog is an on-line extension to the occasional diary I have been keeping of my flying for the last 8 years. It is not really written as though it is going to be read by anyone else, but as a reminder to me of the fun my wife and I have with our flying, and building our Rans S6 ES G-RTHS (affectionately known as HotelSierra) in 2008.
If the writing here gives you some idea of the fun that building and flying microlights can be, then it has been worthwhile. This has to be one of the cheapest ways of flying and still have the ability to fly reasonable distances.
I hope you enjoy reading this blog, which can only be described as an ongoing love story.

The new Aware GPS arrived today. It looks very good, the clarity is great and very bright compared with my Garmin Pilot III. The GPS signal was picked up inside the house, so there should not be any problems in … Continue reading →
New GPS?
A new low cost GPS has been launched and has certainly got my attention. It has a moving CAA map and can be programmed with your route. The best bit is the airspace updates are FREE. This could easily replace my … Continue reading →
