On cold start up my oil pressure is about 5.1 bar indicated. It drops back to about 4 bar. I have a MGL Odyssey and on the last flight I noticed the gauge read 10 bar, the maximum level. It always reads this with no fluctuation. I remember that some gauges receiving no signal, automatically register...

I dropped in out of the blue one day and John took me for a flight, drove me to a show, lent me a car and helped with repairs.
One does not forget!
Hope to have one of his planes one day.
All the best to him and his family.

You guys are making me nervous!? I thought the weather was good (forecast at the mo), Leave tomorrow noon (Cape) in a gentle SE, dodge through Ceres, in the Tankwa valley stick to the mountains in a the gentle NE, bit of lift. Sat, possibility of a once off day in the desert with some lightning. Lea...

On a long trip, the first 3 hours I have the plastic bag ready and use it. The next few days flying a...

The wheels will turn.

''Film crews'' are using a lot of our time exed engines, that were passed on with out gearbox and propellor. The field grows.

Best I've come up with is a laser (size of your small finger and twice as long) You can buy ones that burn plastic. Unlike flares etc they show a clear route back to the user. They are extremely accurate, work day or night and can illuminate (they say) more than 5 kms away. Bought in Thailand but se...

The Honda Africa Twin is the best, but because of their reputation they are hard to come by.

I would like to thank all for their concern, sympathy and comaraderie!! I was last humbled by the flying community when helping with the 10 day SAR for Neil at Woody Cape. At the worst of times it gives hope. My Challenger APH was totally destroyed and this gives me the incentive to get rid of vario...
