Ozone Mantra LM6 (sm) 80 -- 95kg
Check out all the details via Skyads
http://www.skyads.aero/ads/ozone-mantra-lm6/
Really welcome any inspection as this wing is 'as new' condition, immaculate .... six flight at most, v low hours. Sold as surplus to requirements ... just too small for me as I'm 100kg TOW.

Not sure if you know Gary, but next June that week and the week after is ear-marked for the BPC at Kruschevo. I don't have the details yet ... the first week will be a guided free fly week, the second the comp. Limit is 40. It was checked out this year and June seems the best month (rather than late...

Well done Gary ...... for persevering and getting the rewards. Easier for me as a short drive to Brigsteer ..... I was testing a new camera so just a bit of video (also considering a new harness so partly a bit of videoing if I come to sell it). This was 7pm ........ lovely relaxed flying, very bouy...

I've never been much of a contributor to your board, but welcome that it is open and unrestricted to a non member. One of its strong points was/is the typical NE banter, plus the honest opinions and the fact you're a neighbouring club so it's always nice to get some insight into your thinking and wh...
Sorry you guys missed the entry ....... I was really surprised not to see NHPG names and thought you were all away that week. As task director for the A comp I have paid an entry but given up my place and added another five places due to demand. Numbers are a tough one as from my side of the fence w...

Apologies for my intrusion guys, but just to clear a few things up. This year has not been good safety-wise in the UK - in the north, and in Cumbria especially we have had more than our fair share of accidents. This has had a resultant fall-out as some of you may have seen on the CSC forum. We have ...

I may be able to shed some light on the matter. I think it went missing from our washing line around the strong winds of the 7th May and made it across the Pennines. My wife blamed the village sniffer but I think we may have done him a dis-service and it just blew away - I recognize the tassles. Alw...

Regarding Murton. As far as the site goes it's very user friendly with a paved car park at the bottom and a good unpaved road to the top. Do not drive this road! The walk up is fairly easy and about 20 minutes will get you to a good take off in any wind. The hill itself is large and grassy with love...
