Trike Radio License

Thanks for the info :wink: What happened to the days when flying was cheap....2003 :cry: Ja Smiley, You have been missing for awhile. The irony is that you will pay for your station license and never receive it. You will be required to fly with the proof of payment to present during ramp inspection...

Namibia Border Crossing - Advice please?

Running a Motor after standing for a Loong Period

At this stage I have someone to run the motor for me every couple of weeks and when I am at home I fly as much as the weather permits.
