10. "RE: Tail Draggers ARE different!"

Hi Jerry,

That makes a HUGE difference. Before starting microlight flying, I was a keen member of the local model aircraft group, so when a big model flying show or competition was held at the nearby RAF airfield at Woodvale, two of us got permission to take along our microlights to fly after the models had finished - we'd never flown them from anything other than grass previously. There were loads of cars and people on most of the runways and the only one easily accessible was exactly cross wind. That was no problem, we simply took off across the width of the runway, easily reaching flying speed before running off the edge.
