Hi Wargames, I fly an Aquilla and have a pod similar to the banana pod type. Very happy with it as it gives more space for instruments than the T-pod type. There's a guy up here on the Highveld that has various moulds for the pods and makes them in any colour. PM me if you'd like me to get hold of h...

Damn, some people have beautiful places to fly from!

Not too sure, the pilot might even be on the forum..

I need to change my spark plugs for the first time since I bought my trike. With this whole CAA issue, should I do it myself or would you guys suggest I get our local AP at Microland to do it, or at least stamp my engine logbook? Believe it or not, I bought my plane in October with 250hrs on and it'...

I took a PPl up in November. He had a blast... Even gave him the reigns for a short while and he was amazed at how "difficult" it was! He started with a medium turn and could not correct, with everything being opposite! But he loved the experience. Took another PPL mate up in J-Bay in December and h...
