Re: jerry can pump

Thanks guys I am ordering one of those red pumps George listed. (^^) They are slightly pricey at 732.00 but light and portable enough to keep in aircraft for fly aways. No effort then and can be stored in space behind seat! (^^) Regards Bryan ZU BFR ZU EZA Bryan Is this the pump you're referring to...

Re: Conrads CH 750 Project

Well off to assemble the elevator. I will send some pics tomorrow. I hope to have the tail finished by next weekend. Then the wings and finally the fuselage.

Re: Conrads CH 750 Project

Love the pics, please keep posting them!
How have you found the kit and build so far? I believe the Zenith kits are all encompassing and 'relatively easy' to assemble?
Have you built another aerie before this one?!
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, hope you'll still be flying the Challenger.. :wink:

Re: The Danger of the Whipstall

KFA Thanks for the post! Always good to get to the 'meat' of an issue without too much speculation and arm chair advice. Forgive my ignorance, but is this a danger only for trikes, or any aerie? Not sure whether there is copyright on this material, but as per Bundy's request, it seems you can downlo...

I'm a 3axis man myself, but weight shift flying is as close to flying like the birds that we humans can come!
Quite an amazing experience and as you mentioned, a very different experience from flyin 3axis!

Re: Flying African Skies an awesome DVD - who wants one?

So there's obviously a lot of interest in this, and I assume the list of "Yes Please" messages will grow over the next few days. Question is however, what now?
How can we go about obtaining a copy?
