Just watched a program on Supersport 6 on DSTV which had the world microlight championships in the Chech Republic.

Anyone else catch it?

Hi all, I'll be on holiday at my in-laws in Sunland near Addo in EC from the 13th to the 26th of December and would like to know if there's any airfields nearby that I can either hire and fly a Windlass / Aquilla, or hangar my plane (should I be brave enough to cart it down with me!).

Not that I'm an expert, but I learned tha...

ZU-AAL looks pretty much similar to ZS-WOD! Partners in flyin! Where do you fly from? Yep, mine is a Windlass as well. Haven't had a chance to fly my plane yet tho, that's why I couldn't fly in :( I hangar at Microland. Should have my conversion done in the next 2 weeks, depending on which school h...

Wow! What an awesome experience! vhpy Mcfly, you are a genius :!: Even though I couldn't fly in, it was a real sight to see so many microlights together at the same time at an airforce base! Lets hope we get the opportunity to do this again, and this time I can fly in! ## (^^) Some pics: DSCN3071.jp...
