Re: tightening of a wooden prop

To get the "slack" out of the threads, start off with 3 to 5N/M. :? Do your tracking. The final setting is 13N/M. xxx
18 is very high!!! By then you should have indented the plate into the wood, not GOOD!! :(

Hope it helps.

Re: African Trike Flying

Nkwazi. I also wanted to comment on that excessive flapping of the trailing edge at the closest battern to the camera. I see Sad-ham also made that comment. Something I learnt from personal experience: I NEVER allow someone to fly in "flip flops", they tend to want to go through the prop when you sh...

Re: Saldanha to Rhino Park

Ek weet dit het niks met jou trip van Saldanha na Rhino uit te waai nie, maar ek self het ook vanoggend so 07h opgestuig met my trike van my Pvt strip hier in Barberton en ook net 0.5h gevlieg, die turbelensie was net so erg. Ek het al erg ervaar, maar vanoggend was besonders anders, snaaks dat jul ...

Ek raak net so gatvol vir hierdie fooitjie hier en fooitjie daar, niks meer vir die liefde van die saak. Ek is mal oor vlieg en geniet dit om ...

One is Confidence and the other Ability to fly. In the beginning of your training, the graph that shows your ability to fly is way infront/ah...

Re: Fuel at Gariep?

Nice long tar runway. Airfield about 4-5km from accomodation and supermarket. The road from airfield to civilization passes alongside the local informal settlement. Empty hangers, but locked. Yes speak to Jaco. Cheap accomodation at the local resort. Think it is Forever Resort Group, not to sure.

Karoo Love. Ons ry Maandag 25/06/2012 af Kaap toe en oornag by die Gariep dam, meer spesifiek by Forever Resorts. Hoe ver is jou strip daarvandaan? Nie nou by GPS om jou koordinate in te sleutel nie. Wat is die kanse dat ek en my seun die Dinsdag oggend kan gaan vlieg. Ek self het Windless op plaas ...
