Re: Ted Cook HU GA Cygnet
yes very nice little plane to fly around it, just added the sperry autopilot and gps. I use the autopilot to take care of trim for me. I know I am lazy.

[speculation]Cirrus Moth? Blackburn Bluebird? Currie-Wot? Miles Satyr? Miles Whitley Straight? Luton Minor? BA Swallow?[/speculation]
Whatever they are, they'll be welcome in my hangar.

Hear hear, I for one am always grateful for what is produced. A Chrislea SkyJeep would be interesting to see (umm perhaps not..... as its not that exciting to fly and the almost non-existent view out over the nose would put a lot of people off!).ferryman wrote::dance: :dance: :dance:DispatchDragon wrote:John

The Super Ace might be a more viable subject what with its quirky mode of control. Was the first vintage aeroplane I flew in and still havent met anything with such weird controls. The intention was that you would drive your car to the airfield and get aboard and off you would go with the Super Ace's ball and socket yoke and floor operated throttle akin to driving a car (the rudder was interconnected to the ailerons and elevators akin to the early Ercoupes). This was changed to a more conventional system in production airframes, bur retaining the odd yoke. It could only have been British!
Best wishes to all,
