Lundy is a beautiful island in the Bristol Channel just off the North Devon Coast. It has a small grass strip and is a lovely place to visit. I used the great harmonica playing of HoneyBoy Hickling as the soundtrack.

  • Nice take off! I want to take my Tiger into Lundy from Perranporth.  Did you do a standard short field take off? What about the rabbit holes? How much headwind?

    Cheers

  • If you fly a Maule every takeoff is short due to its performance :0) If you're going in a Grumman Tiger I would check on the condition of the strip and length of grass from the locals before heading off there. In the video, it was all cross and no headwind. Hope you have a good trip.

  • Hi Leestrong7, it isn't so much where you learn, but the experience you build up with flying into small strips that's important before you head off to a place like Lundy. Having a robust and great aircraft like the Maule with 235 horse power also helps. Thanks for the comments.

  • Guys, get a life! Who cares what you think about Simon's great harmonica playing. There are too many people out there who like him to make your comments irrelevant. Have a nice day, now!
