First flight in a Warbird!

[.Evan.]

This Saturday, my friend and I flew down to Lethbridge to visit his friend who owns a Winjeel. We were under the impression that he was doing some work on it - so we were happy enough to go down to talk to him and see the thing up close.

 

He really surprised us when he offered to jump in for a flight!!! We were even more impressed when we did some impromptu formation flying with the local joy flight provider.

 

 

 

 

 

Full story here, if you wanna.

Notice the Winjeel has flap out to keep pace with the Agcat.

Sharp eyes, Mick!

 

Yep, Darren flew clean for a few seconds but the aircraft was too wishy-washy. One stage of flap made the controls much more positive at that speed.
