Welcome to my site
I hope you find something of interest to make your visit worthwhile.
Project: Savannah(VG)
To build a MXP740 Savannah(VG))
Small Light Aircraft and have it in the air by March 2009. This will be a
joint collaboration between myself and flying partner Simon 'if-he-gets-much-fatter-he-wont-be-able-to-get-in-it' Yardley.
The Savannah(VG) is a 'Short Take off and Landing' - STOL aircraft similar to the
Zenithair CH701. Some would say too similar. It stalls at 32 mph and will cruise
at about 95. Normal approach speed is 40. Load factors are +6g /-4g. The engine is a Jabiru 2200 all the way from Oz.
Read David Bremner's Review of the standard wing Savannah (6mB PDF file).
The
Rans G-MZBD has been
sold.

When I first started running back in the 80's it was more out of a need to avoid
the pile of dirty dishes or the overgrown lawn than the desire to improve my fitness.
In them days I meticulously logged every time and distance into what became a rather
shabby old ledger.
How times have changed. With the marriage of GPS, heart rate monitors and internet
technologies I can now with a few mouse clicks have every metric imaginable not
only saved and displayed graphically on my desktop but can zoom in from outer space
to view my route from above.
If you've a mind take a look at some of my activities on MotionBase. For the outer space bit you will need Google
Earth and, as much as I favour Firefox, you will need to be in Internet Explorer
to run the Map Player. Alternatively I've also got some stuff here at GPS Activity Manager
