Hi anagod,

I am going weight-shift at Microland Sky Riders in Aquila 582.

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone, In preparation for my MPL I had to change my lifestyle somewhat to loose weight. I currently stand at 126 kg's, and have some way to go. I have been trying to figure out the allowable weight for a trike, and have come up with some interesting results. I had a look at the offerings of Ae...

Hi everyone, I have been lurking here for a while, and have done a lot of reading again as of late on microlighting.

Hi afskies,

Where can I get hold of this publication? Sorry if this is a daft question or if I missed something, but haven't seen it before on the shelves here in PTA.
