Sounds like a good idea but I will believe it when I see it. We can not even get okes (Stef and new pilots excluded) together to fly to Nylstroom or Secunda or Sibaka and you want to got to Potties!! Make it somewhere after the school holiday in Oct and I am in.

It is 8:08 am, 7 August 2012. Almost clear skies and 10knts north easterly playing with the windsock.

WHY AM I ALONE AT MICROLAND?

Ek hoop nie jy het die chairman ontvoer nie !!!

Already booked at Kokoriba before I saw this for 9 - 12 August but at least we will be flying in for the long weekend.

My decision is based on both comfort and speec. Easy to fold and awesome to fly (I hope)

We can convert yourRaptor wing to topless for about R15,000 - R17,000.

I think it is a fair price.
What will my cruising speed be with the conversion to topless?

The time has come to make the RED RAPTOR topless.

Anyone got a phone number for Jenya? The Aerossa website does not work.

Bundy/Batleur ... I would like to take a flight to Klip sometime, maybe fly ML - Heidelberg - Klip/Circus and back. Get a bit boring flying the usual flips, Rhino, Cullinan, Dam. The Vulture Squadron is flying to Kokoriba for the long weekend in August. Come and do a lekker 2 hour cross country wit...

Got petrol in my diesel Polo twice. Shell and Engen both carried the cost. I contacted head office and did not bother with the owner/manager. All they needed was my slip.

Caught up with Stef and Paul on my way back from Nylstroom this morning.

Was actually a bit sad to fly back "home" with my flying buddy of many years , Astrix, going the other way to his new home. I am sure he will feel right at home between the Potties manne.

Anyone care to comment?

Received mine today and it was posted on 13 June!!! Also received a letter from the UK today that was posted less than 2 weeks ago!

Any person with half a mechanical brain would have taken a screwdriver with. Sounds to me like the thieves did not have a screwdriver: a- cut through the carb rubbers, did not loosen the clamp; b- did not even take the top cover off the carb, could have "harvested" most of the carb; c- ripped the co...

If they needed the engine, why leave the carburetors? Spares maybe? Scrap metal more likely!! I think the prop was just coincidence.

May the fleas of a thousand camels flock to their nether regions so that it may itch for ever and their fingers turn into razor blades.

I also got a plane back from a manufacturer that could not even take off but was "test flown". Not the same one as in the rest of the thread.

Point is: have your plane checked by an experienced test pilot when it comes back from repair before you fly it.
