Damn, those tires pick up a lot of FOD!

I used my deli on my airfield to plow it. Plow was about 26 feet wide and the snow was 6 inched deep. Deli didn't even spin a wheel.

Your own airfield? Cool! Presumably you have an aircraft with which to use it.Super Exceeded wrote:I used my deli on my airfield to plow it. Plow was about 26 feet wide and the snow was 6 inched deep. Deli didn't even spin a wheel.

...and what is that vehicle shown in your userpic? Looks like a six-wheeler.

LOL you must be the only person on here who doesn't know me. Yes I have an Airport, and yes my Delica has 6 wheels (only 4 when I made the video).RadarGrrl wrote:

Re: Reflections on driving on an airfield after a trip up a
Well...pleased to meet you. I haven't been here very long, only since (I think) June, which was when I first started to discover the world of the Delica and its fans. I'm proud to be an owner and very much a fan myself, (as you might have figured out). So I'm likely the only person who doesn't know you yet. I am, however, a plane geek, even though flying is a dream that I'll never achieve.Super Exceeded wrote:LOL you must be the only person on here who doesn't know me.

Your six wheeled ride looks like summat you'd find on a lunar expedition. Well done!

As I mentioned, I wish I could fly, but it's a pipe dream now...Nordo wrote:Well this is like a doubble whammy site...... Deli's and Aviation!! Im an aviation nerd as well.

What I do, though, is maintain landing aids at YQQ. And the Dalek, of course, has become my cockpit.

Flying lessons do not cost all that much. Most of my students are done in 4K or less. Don't lose your dream.

$4k? You serious? What does that pay for?

Uh-oh.. now that flying has been mentioned this is all we'll ever talk about now!Nordo wrote:Well this is like a doubble whammy site...... Deli's and Aviation!! Im an aviation nerd as well.

I drive various aircraft up here in the north.. both big and small, wet and dry.
Which airport do you fly out of SuperE?

Radar Girl, A UPl limits the size of airplane you can fly and the number of punters allowed in with you. The bonus is a UPP will save you 5-8k on a PPL when you want to upgrade.
Vstrom I own the King George Airpark CSK8 in your CFS look under Surrey. Drop by next time you're in town.

What's the upper limit on airplane size...C152?Super Exceeded wrote:Radar Girl, A UPl limits the size of airplane you can fly and the number of punters allowed in with you. The bonus is a UPP will save you 5-8k on a PPL when you want to upgrade.
This is food for thought...maybe down the line.

Re: Reflections on driving on an airfield after a trip up a
Better performance the a 152 but a little smaller.
