Re: Simon takes to the air - The journey begins...

Agree with Ok! Don't give up, start a movement boet.

There must be an alternative med that is more acceptable to the CAA with less adverse effects. Your challenge is to find it. Cast your net way beyond SA's shores. There must be someone out there that can help.

If you need a dose of flying, shout.

Re: Simon takes to the air - The journey begins...

Hey Slysi,
Decided it’s time to take some leave to do my tailie conversion. Hope to do it the week starting 21 June. What’s happening, why so quite?
RV4 is nearing completion, paint work done and wings back on. Can’t wait!

Regards,
Malcolm.

Re: Simon takes to the air - The journey begins...

Some of us have to work for a living boet! Im talking weekend here. You will have plenty ups and downs during your training so dont worry too much. I remember landings going wrong after 100 hours. I sat down with my son and spoke thru the entire approach, flair and touchdown before I realised what I...

When is your next lesson? If I had known you were flying, I would have popped over to Petit a long time ago!

Re: Malcolm's new toy

Hi Slysi, You have to be skinny to fit into the back of this one boet – I’ll have to take you for a ride in the J400 instead. School deal is also going through – lots happening at Springs. Why don’t you come (catch a ride with someone) to the free breakfast at Springs on Saturday and we can ...

Hi kb, I have suffered the same frustration on a number of occasions. The problem I have is that the Jabiru has split rims and if the wheel is not pumped hard enough, when landing, the tyre turns on the rim and punctures the tube. What is even more scary is when you land and the wheel deflates quick...

Anything closer than Margate or Virginia would be fine but Hibberdene no longer exists. Although there are still sign posts on the road indicating an airfield, the actual strip is overgrown. Thanks anyway.

Scottburgh

Does anyone know of a strip close to Scottburgh. I fly a fixed wing and probably need at least 500m (not yet an expert!).
