Thanks Ian, I am indeed on FB and will look that page up. THankyou.
The Chippy I fly is civvy and I must say I was surprised that it was still not converted to electric start, but hey ho, thats all part of the aircraft's age and charm.
I haven't looked into the next Chipmunk meet for one thing, I dont know when I will qualify on type and secondly, as it is a cartridge start, it may just be for trips around the Lincolnshire airspace and not actually land anywhere apart from home airfield. Its still very early days and at the moment, i am jsut looking forward to the challenge of learning her quirks and to then fly her solo; and share my passion for the aircraft with friends. I dont know if the Chippy I fly is attending, will have to find out.
As to the Sleap Fly In... will have a look. May bring the Grob over...
Thankyou Proteus.
...and to A4Pacific...I believe I will enjoy it! Proper aircraft with the wheel at the proper end.
