Re: Breakfast Fly-In at Heidelberg on 01 May
Myself and Shaun will hopefully be joining in his Aquilla (ZU-CSR) tomorrow from Rhino Park. Will be a nice cross country for me, away from the cabbage patch.
Hope the weather plays along![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Re: ADVENTURE FLIGHT
It was good to have met you when you landed at Rhino Park.
Its people like you, and adventures like yours that first got me into flying microlights!
Well done again Henry, and you can also put me down for a copy of your DVD

Re: COSMOS RUN 2010 26-28 March
Did the Cosmos run on Saturday with Alex. What an experience! Weather was not as bad as it looked, but by 11:00, it turned nasty (**) The sight & smell of the Cosmos past Delmas was just spectacular! vhpy Alex took some pretty good pictures, despite a bumpy ride, caused by me :oops: Thanx to Shirley...

Re: Waterberg Flyaway from Microland
Damn, so close, and yet so far
I'm getting close to finishing my licence, but won't have it in time
Trike's also grounded. Needs testing and ATF & Hans is away.
I'll make sure to join your next flyaway tho, when I'm better prepared

Neat GPS & Nav software for Java enabled phones
http://www.aerotools.hoshis.org/index.html Has anyone tried this out yet? I've just got it working on my Nokia 6300 with bluetooth GPS, and so far it rocks! (Ok, granted its difficult to get it going initially, but powerful once installed). You can plot a route in Google Earth, then save it & uploa...

Re: Aviation show, Why Not ?
Hi guys, As a newcomer to microlighting & aviation in general, I can possibly offer up my views on such an event, coming from an aviation newbie. I have currently little exposure to anything other than my training on an Aquilla 582 at Rhino Park, the pilots I have met there, as well as the various a...

Re: Trike - radio electronics
Sad thing is, most places are closed until New Years
If you find an electronics place open, you might need the replacement part Q21, which is a 2SK3075 FET. It's probably the culprit if everything else was checked.
Whereabouts in Joburg are you? Maybe I can help.

Re: Trike - radio electronics
I have an ICA4e, and also some experience with transmitters. Start with the basics: the ptt switch, then the mic output. If your antenna gave you problems at any stage, or you have a short on the cable to the antenna, then your final output stage transistor may be shot. Check the others first, and i...
