Just a "normal" crosswind landing in a wind that seemed like 20knots westerly (probably more like 15kts) coming over some port jacksons. The result for the first attempted landing was a go around!!

A foggy morning to start off, but beautiful flying - 2 hours.
Dirk and myself took his friends (Dirk - let's call him Dun Dirk, and Tersia) for some local flying. They are hooked, and are considering their training, and I could see them thinking how to budget for that trike.
See http://www.zu-dve.com for the route (log)

Daai vlerk lyk nog 100% Gert. Wat pla jou die seil of die raamwerk?

Nee, ek het nou >500hrs, daar is maar roes, en daardie dele onder die doek wonder ek maar oor. Ek sal beter voel as SoloWings die ding uitmekaar gehaal het en alles gekyk en vervang het wat nodig is. Later die jaar gaan ek dieselfde met WUO doen.
Dirk het sy vlerk laat diens, en is baie gelukkig (dog stadig).

Despite some wind (the province, not me) got some flying in this morning and yesterday. This week I will rig ZU-DVE's wing (or rather I will follow Dirk's instructions and be in the way while he help me), so should be in the air by Wednesday.

After 2 weeks of a wingless DVE I got to fly her today. What a difference to the wing!
This graph is the altitude in blue, and the vario in green - see that climb!
Also see http://www.zu-dve.com for today's log.

Re: ZU-DVE (and ZS-WUO) Flight Log
Kameras hou my net so lank soos selfone. Vandat ek die logs begin het, het ek 'n Fuji Finepix 4900, Fuji Finepix 5900, Fuji something, Olympus FE310 al opgef%k. Ek gebruik nou 'n D60 Nikon en is snap bedonderd. My benadering is as jy 1000 fotos neem, is een OK. So geen geheime nie...
