I need few small vesconite (or nylon) bushes to use in canopy latching mechanism. Anyone know where I can find in Pretoria or Centurion?

I hit a adder on an early morning take off from a tar strip in the Northern Cape. Front wheel went over it but no prop strike. Did a thorough post flight inspection to make sure there are no passengers!

Please add me to the list

My haert goes out to all that suffered losses. I am speachless. This year not starting great ... Fatalities, over 30 rhinos dead, strike chaos and anarchy ... Where are we heading!!

Incredible ... for a single regulator it is R528 cheaper (incl. of shipping) to order from a coastal trike manufacturer than to obtain locally from the agent. How on earth is this possible?

Did a trip in '98 in my Aquilla to Okavango Delta. I went up to 11'000 ft over central Botswana to get the best ground speed on route to Maun. Sat there for around 2hrs.

These days I am more of a low flyer. Prefer turbulance over that feeling of exposure up there.
