Tranistioning from trikes to powerless flight: Hanggliding, or Paragliding?

I'll be taking up one of the two in 2021. Questions remain.. Put aside the ease of transport factor - where obviously paragliders win. Also assume that I am not new to flight. What does a former trike pilot pursue, once he wants to get into unpowered flight? Hangglider - or Paraglider? (excluding gl...

Mosselbay hire and fly - what would the interest be?

First of - I'm not talking the regulatory aspect / club rules etc. - - that is a different topic - the question is merely this: 1. If you had at your disposal a properly maintained ATF'ed Aquilla 582 with helmets headsets etc. available for legal rental at FAMO, would you use it should you be in the...

Help on Modification please

I recently acquired a new piece of kit on E-bay which I would like to fit to my trike. You will see from the first part of the first video that we have already tested this piece of equipment, and it works fine. I need help on the following: 1. Anybody know of an AP that would be able to fit it to my...

Ek wil net eers vasstel by die FAMO manne of daar iewers vir haar n gaatjie te huur is. Topless maak dit maklik-standard hangar.. As daar is: H...

Re: Mossel Bay hangarspace? For a topless Yellow Cobra?

He he he!! Dis nie KZN toe nie my vriend!! Nee - ek dink ek sal hom aftreiler - ek moet in elk geval die treiler vat dit het my 'n gawe bedrag gekos sodat Jenya hom kon herbou om 'n topless te vat. Maar - as jy current is op jou Cobra rating en jy vind jouself daaronder met 'n lus vir vlieg, kan ons...

Mossel Bay hangarspace? For a topless Yellow Cobra?

How quickly life can change! My same position in Limpopo opened up in the Southern Cape three weeks ago, I pounced on it, and long story short - I am taking up my duties in that region on 1 April 2015. (^^) (and NO - this is not an early April fool's joke) A lot of work lies ahead in "re-settling" a...

Re: THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"

Trailering up my Cobra to Microland on Sunday afternoon - there to spend as much as is needed to be current, plus a few extra things I want done. Spoke to Merv, and we will be working through her Monday morning - and then I need to get to Warmbad for a meeting. Once done, she will remain there until...

Re: Illegal flying

Good post. If life - in all its various soulsucking forms - gets in the way of remaining current, do what I did this year - take a Sabbatical from flying, until you feel ready again to get all sorted, and back up in the sky - legally. I haven't flown since January. My ATF lapsed early in Feb. But ot...
