Corrado or Plane?

Recommended Posts

I've got a dilemma. A couple of years ago I got my PPL (private pilot licence). My initial intention was to get a plane, however I never did but flew with a local clubs to keep current.

Recently I've been flying a little more and been flying a friends Pitts (aerobatic bi-plane) and have really got the flying bug again.

My decision is, do I keep the corrado and keep flying other planes? Or is it time to sell up? :scratch: :shrug:

Do both! There, another problem solved by my infinite wisdom. I really must start charging....

Asking such a stupid question on a Corrado forum ... what sort of answer are you expecting??!? :nuts:

I've flown a 2 seater Cessna a good few times now, and as good a car as the Corrado is, there is NO comparison on a journey/adrenalin ratio.

 

No-brainer that one really mate! :D

 

PPL? Must have cost you a fair packet?

Got to fly some full on aerobatics in a Bulldog (old Raf trainer), with a retired Raf test pilot. As part of my Msc in aerospace dynamics of all things! Handy going to a Uni with their own airfield, planes and pilots! :shock: :D

 

It was some rush! 8) 8)

Sorry about the randomness of the question, was a bit drunk and the wife had had a bit of a barney as all I spend my money on is th ecorrado and flying recently. Dont think I've got the heart to sell the corrado at the moment as I've recently put a lot of time into it.

Did a bit of flying with the cadets and TBH I found it kinda boring. Even the aerobatics etc. I just never got a sense of speed from it.

 

Good vid there (ironically from the Swiss) and I would love to get a low level fast jet ride. Bit of a plane geek if Im honest.

 

Dont by a plane, get a motorbike and do trackdays...

So nice to see someone with a relatively similar dilemma!

 

I started my PPL two years ago but had to stop due to my job not paying as much as I needed. Now that issue has been rectified, I could go flying again...if I wasn't just about to buy my first Corrado :lol: Ooops.

Definately finish your PPL! if not it's like having driving lessons and never taking your test!

Im kinda in the same situation as you. Its a case of sell the Corrado and start gliding again or keep the Corrado and dont fly :(

Get a plane, then get it on the rolling road, see if it takes off

 

That could lead to quite a debate.

An interesting one to think about but there is not a chance as without forward motion there is no lift to push the wings up, and if it was pointed vertical instead the wings would probably just tear off. :grin:
