I’m glad to say that the seller of the X-Air that I went to see in England last week has replied by email today saying that he’s now reconsidered and will be returning my deposit after all. I’m very pleased about that because on a personal level I thought he was a very nice chap and I didn’t relish the thought of all the nastiness that would have ensued if we’d had to take the matter to Court. Anyway, that now won’t happen and I sincerely hope that he manages to sort the engine problem out and find another buyer for his X-Air.<\/p>\n
So now it’s time to have another go and try to find the right aircraft. I placed an ‘X-Air Wanted’ ad on the AFORS web site a couple of days ago and have already received information on some interesting aircraft. One in particular is very interesting but it’s early days yet. Wim tells me that winter flying down here in the Dordogne is lovely because it usually isn’t that cold (last winter was a bit of an exception) and compared to the summer with its strong sun and resulting thermic activity, the air in the winter is very smooth and great to fly in. So I’d love to have an aircraft by then but I don’t intend to go rushing into anything for the moment, and certainly not after my last experience. In the meantime I’ve got lots still to do, to do with the move to France and also on my house. For starters, there’s a little bit of wind damage that needs to be fixed on my roof and I also need to install a wood burner before it starts to get cold. Know what? There’s never enough time, is there \ud83d\ude2f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
