I fly a Rainbow Cheetah with a 582 motor & P-Prop. It has 975hrs total time and is still going strong. Excellent hours builder!

Also do time in a Jabiru J-160 and a J-400 and before anyone asks the question .... with a MPL.... the answer is NO, I fly PPL!

BAD MOUTHING

Kevin.... =D* Welcome to the Fun Factor Forum Thank you for clearing that up and most noble if I might say so..... !!!! The one thing we all should remember is that as PIC of any aircraft it is up to you to make that decision to fly or not to fly! The most important factor being SAFETY! At the end o...

BAD MOUTHING MICROLIGHTER's

Could some give me a link to the thread in question please so that I could add my Zim 2 cents worth! A lot of the chaps in AVCOM fly someone elses expensive blik. I also frequent the AVCOM chatroom and must say, mixing it up with a lot of chaps that are CPL's lets one feel rather diminutive. I would...

204

It took the first 204 years of the USA's history to accumulate $1 trillion in debt. And now they are doing that every 2 or 3 years. Hodge's 204-run partnership with Michael Clarke (93 not out) yesterday was a fourth-wicket record in World Cup matches I'm trying, I'm trying..... Is it aviation relate...

Yes, then there was silence. Let's go further with the thought of an accident investigator.... How much knowledge does he have of the basic principles of flight. I spoke to one of these investigators down in Saldanha when a friend of mine lost his life in a JK-05 Junior. He was an elderly gentleman ...

First type....

I asked this question on AVCOM with no replies..... Let me see how responses there are here..... :twisted: How many people from the lowest of the lowest to the highest of the highest in the employ of SA CAA have a direct interest in aviation such as in the possession of a valid MPL,PPL,PPL(H) or CPL...

Choices...

Wingless... If you struggled to get into the Savannah the getting into a Bantam aint going to be easier ! Maybe you should try it first! Not slagging the Batam or any other plane.

Had a wing leveller in etc. Elmo did the demo in Kimberley. Have been in contact with Francois and would have liked to fly the newer model - bigger rudd...
