I have paid my second year membership on both MISASA and Aeroclub, also member of SAAMA. I have climbed to 120 hours in my first year and with the second year membership active I am yet to receive a membership card. I see no value in both these memberships and view it only as a hurdle to cross in or...

Reached 90 hours. Would like to get to the 100 mark before the Christmas break.

Rand fly-in still on. Big Man suggests we fly from Springs at 07:00 for Circus and then still do the breakie at Rand. Keeping all happy. Those who cannot afford the landing fees may return home.
C u there! Fly safe!

No problem flying in directly. Approach from Romeo Delta (can't teach you guys that, I am the rookie). I have arranged with the tower.
No need to join overhead first, tower will advise circuit and active runway, we will join the circuit directly.

Yes of course, I have had breakfast at Rhino myself. Please just confirm approximate numbers as I have to give the info to the Air Marshall. All other arrangements are in place, they are looking forward to seeing us.

Fly-in from Springs to Rand Airport for Breakfast at the Harvard, take-off from Springs 07:30 sharp anyone welcome. Flight from Springs routing over Klipriver, Panorama and then Rand Airport. Arrangements made with Flight Controller, they are looking forward to meeting the light aircraft pilots more...

Hope 2 c some of u there

Nkwazi, Sout,
I'm in, hanger @ Petit. Nkwazi can we leave together? Time?

Guys, just a little feedback if you are interested. I have fitted the 165 main jets (the AP did), new needles etc. Needle position 2. I flew the aerie for an hour this morning (solo) burnt about 7 litres. I don't think this is bad. The motor is idling smoothly, very responsive and excellent on high ...

Thanks to all :!: I know I have a "licence to kill" therefore I will never be arrogant. Safety is first priority. I'll keep it close for the first 10 with my own aerie before taking pax. My wife just has to be a bit more patient, but she is understanding. Damn, I just realised again what a lucky man...

Stephan, Thanks for the input, I don't believe it is a crime wanting to get a second opinion though, the AP is aware of this. I am not and have not acted unethically, my safety is not your responsibility, also we as users always end up paying for other's mistakes should they make mistakes, and it ca...

Duck, thanks a lot ! I will get the AP to sign it out on 165's and then ask another AP to sign back the 158's. The AP working on the aerie have already had a "talk" with the Rotax agents saying they do not know what they are talking about. I am tending towards the 158's at altitude and 165's at sea ...

Stephan, sit biki nuwe pic's op man, hierdie aerie lyk lankal nie meer so nie !
Goeie werk !

Got my wings !
CAA still has to sort the registration though, ZU-DCR will be airborne SOON !

Thanks guys, I will not want to start a war here
Fit the 165's, get it signed out and then put the 158's back? Is this ethical, both uses the same needle.
