Re: Spare parts availability/ sevice

We ordered spats for one of our Bantams from Kitplanes. The first pair sent were incorrect and the finish was not too good.
We contacted Stefan who had a new set made and despatched within 3 days.So no worries with the service from these guys.

Re: Microlights not welcome at Krugersdorp!

We have never had a problem at FAKR and often go there to re fuel or for service work to our Bantams.(Great service from Kevin Hopper at Skyworx)
We have been advised to approach from the west over the silos and then approach from the south side of the field.

Hi,
We have two Bantams and are situated in Hekpoort close to Sue's Strip.Please give us idea on costs of overnight stay and approx distance when the route is agreed upon.We use Avgas which is a factor regarding distance/availability.
Thanks,

Re: Possibly NO flying for microlights during World Cup

Hi,
There seem to be so many different reports on this issue of FPL's
FAC's no problem. We fly from a private strip in Hekpoort in the Magalies GF.
If we want to fly from here around the patch and land back here do we need to file a flight plan?
Thanks.
