So is the Contis field going to be shut down then? What's the approach into RWY 20 as MS like? I've never landed there, and wondered if you could give some pointers. Is the approach bumby with those trees, i.e. windshear, or does it calm down once you're below the treeline. Would I be allowed to lan...

Morph, I did a low level circuit over MS yesterday at about 12pm but saw no cars/planes outside your "glass cockpit" hanger. If I'm over there again and see you I'll land and say howzit! By the way I think you hanger and think it really cool and practical use of all that roof space! Did you do that ...

OK so when I'm next there, I'll just walk around asking who knows where Morph is... they'll lock me up in the looney bin. PM me with your name. Or maby I'll just look for AUK?

Are they not afraid the lease will be terminated at some point in the future?

Morningstar development?

I stopped at Morningstar while taking my son for a "make him fall asleep" drive.

Lots of development and building action there! Who's paying for new roads/taxiways/access to hangers? Has the land been purchased by someone? (As far as I'm aware it's state land leased leased to microligth club)

Only difference is your already on the ground :) I don't have discovery, but my guess is they probably deliberately guided each team to use a different motor. Marketing is rif...

Hi all To start, I own neither a plane or a trike, but am spending lots of time researching getting flying. From what I've gathered, its mostly a personal choice now of whether you like Rotax or Jabiru engines. I think its much of a muchness. The only real tangable issue is the fuel and the smaller ...
