I have just un der 170 hours and had three trikes in the last 3 years. A hornet, then a windlass and now an Aquilla 2. In all the trikes I found that it is more difficult for me to turn left then right. In fact it is more uncomfortable for me to do it and i find myself flying in such a way that I wo...

I think that syndication on a microlight is a bit different then that of a normal blik aerie. With a Microlight your time available to fly due to good weather is much less then that for say a Cesna. If I had a half or third share in a Cesna during the last months windy conditions I would still have ...

Thanks Paul

Hi Gavin

Got a price on the battery tester for the headset yet?

Duck , I know regulations require that I use a shifting spanner, but we all bend the rules now and again!

Hi Bundy Actually I just checked it this weekend. All the rims for the 503 Windlass and 582 Aquilla are 8 inch. You have a choice of two sizes. Either 16 x 6.5 x 8 ( Windlass And it seems older Aquillas.) or 18 x 6 x 8 . The 18 or 16 is the hight of the tyre from ground to top . The middle 6.5 or 6 ...

Also Try Charmaine at Dominator

Her no is 07 9 88 30 670

Only time I look at ASI is when I do short field landings and are flying just above stall to land as slow as possible.

My instructer frequently switched off the display and I never onced panicked or even concidered it dangerous as he taught me to fly with the feeling of the wind in my face. But then again, I fly trikes and in a closed cockpit where you cannot feel the wind presure on you it is probably a different s...

I wil give you an idea on what I pay. Hangarage R440 Fuel R1000 (I fly about two hours every weekend = 10l p/h + twostroke oil) Traveling R700 ( Thats my cost to drive to airfield and back and I stay 56 km from field) AP inspection R400 (once a year) ATF R550 (once a year) The rest , except for majo...

Thanks John

Thanks John. And since Duck is earning crocery money, could you please tell me what the max revs ( i.e 6800 for 3 min for the 503) for the 582 will be ?

Regards

While Duck is dispencing his pearls of wisdom.....can I ask the same question for a 582 Blue Top ?

Will seriously consider joining you guys, but will only be able to give a final answer by 15/20 September if its not too late and OK with you? Just to confirm, you are flying arround and not over Sani Pass? I am with Asterix on this one.........eks maar lekker banggat!

[quote="Asterix" I would much rather fly around the Berg and still view it. As a matter of fact, I have been dreaming of a trip around Lesotho. Betlehem - Golden Gate - Clarens - Ficksburgh - Lady whatsisname - Wepener - down into the cape then up the Eastern side via the normal KZN points.[/quote] ...
