roundout/flare as late as possible (without flattening yourself ), In other words like Ford Perfect explained "Trow yourself at the ground but make sure you miss" :shock: I found that a higher speed does help, if the normal speed over the numbers are 60mph, in a strong x-wind I approach 70mph and b...

Yesterday phoned the X-winds weatherline from 14:00 to try and get myself in the air, everytime I phoned the wind just got stonger

Bought my stack of mags last night :) Just two criticism on the article :evil: Somebody should tell the writer what very light planes are :( we are not quite comparing the apples with apples here. Of the three major proudly SA manufactures (that I know of :?: ) only Rainbow is featured :? What no Bu...

I like the new format too :D

Since the T-bird the real flying personalities have come to the forefront 8) The oldest will have no turn more th...

Flew to Brits on Saturday :D , great day.

As I passed Harties I listened to all the traffic in that area I'm sure CAA should allocate a freq dedicated to "Traffic in the Hartbeespoort dam area"

On Sunday at the airshow at FAVG, I'd been there for 2 solid days and wanted to go home, but no, wife wanted to watch more. Go figure? :) Reminds of a poster I saw "The perfect attitude for the perfect woman" xxx I quote "You so sexy when you hangover, No hurry have another drink, I'm bored lets sh...

I was reading a thread on Avcom that is worthy of starting here..... How does your spouse/partner relate to your flying :?: ) zoofly you certainly struck a cord with this topic, 3 pages in 2 days :shock: I suppose because we can not live with either, the wife and flying that is :roll: The words my ...

I had 2 loss of power incedents on a 503 in a Basic I owned, apperently due to sub cooling, cutting the power to idle, decent, reapply power and nothing :shock: More recently in the Tbird 582 the full power rpm dropped from 6800 to 5200 in about 10min. Did precautionery landing waited 30min did grou...

It's the second time today I'm going to refer to the yanks "There is no substitute for cubic inches" so if its in the budget, the 582 is the one to have
