I was always a bit wary of plastic planes until I flew the Cirrus SR 20. Now my mind is permanently changed. The RAF did a wise thing with the Grob and contracted out the Air experience flights and the UAS flying. I'm sure it's a great success. Had more fun with the Chippy tho. Good shots there and a great line at Leeming. Have the scenery but not the AI.
