Re: Turbulence

I've been trying to get my mind around turbulence (or is that what gliders and hang-glider pilots call lift) for years. You just need to look at a video of a hanglider pilot (plenty on http://www.hanggliding.org ) to see that these guys take bumps like those you experienced in their stride. And they...

Re: Flying a GPS Approach in a Trike!

John, you should have started the discussion with "I'm an engineer", makes much more sense that way. :lol: I have done the same at Morningstar, except I did it the easy way - I am not an engineer. I flew out, taking a "approach" slope, pressed the waypoint button a couple of times on the way out, an...

Re: Friends? Foes? Ignoring posts?

Yes, it is. I still do not wish to read his posts.....see the picture: recent posts, and all I see is *** ^@$%!£ advertisements. I do not wish to see or read those. And I cannot add this user to the foe list, because... " You cannot add administrators and moderators to your foes list. " So it is a b...

Friends? Foes? Ignoring posts?

I have added a user who floods this forum with advertisements as a "Foe", yet still see the numerous posts. Is it possible to get the server to "ignore" these on my behalf?

Re: ZU-DVE (and ZS-WUO) Flight Log

After the storms of the weekend in Aurora, this morning I got to the field, and the windsock was not really doing anything. Have a look at the video - Aurora lies against the Piket Mountain, and if there is an easterly, it is slap bang on the lee side. Some years ago I flew to Aurora, and abandoned ...

Re: Microlight Magazine

We don’t need a colourful brochure detailing all the award recipients, neither do we want to pay for this elaborate ball. Don't judge the support you recieve by the few lonely soldiers standing behind you. We're all here, in our millions, in cyberspace and at airfields beyond travelling distance to...

Re: Heavy Duty Tyres

Solowings tells me they do not recommend, since these tyres pick up stones.
