Don't know much about it yet, as I only got it home tonight.

How I came by it is as follows.

Yesterday I was strolling down the lane with the dogs. As I passed the field where a chap keeps a microlight, I noticed one off the hanger doors was open. As the hedge is high, I couldn't see if anyone was there. So just incase the wind had blown it open, I walk round to see.
The chap was there and clearing out his stuff. Turns out he has a heart condition and has to have a bypass. So no more flying for him for at least two years.
`He had a mini tractor in the hanger, an old Wheel Horse, that he used to cut the grass on his runway. He'd been trying to start it, but was having no joy. Plenty of spark but no fuel getting through. Anyway, I had a look, a play and a fiddle. Turned out to be an airlock in the fuel pipe and when cleared, the engine ran as sweet and smooth as anything.
He'd said he was selling it as we were working on it. So I asked him what he wanted for it. Suffice to say, it now belongs to ME.
