What happend now? He had so much "bad luck" with BMZ :shock: :shock: :shock:
Mike tells me it had a hard landing at the Bundu Bash and did some damage to the main undercarriage :oops: . When I spoke to him he was in the car on his way to Upington to trailer it back. :cry:

Since I've known this plane it's had an engine out, then lost the prop recently in flight and now this! Definately time to get my own plane! :shock:

Ah Robert, Yes he knows, but the lone ranger is always on his own mission, hence name "lone ranger" :lol: , he rarely flies out on Saterday with the regular guys :twisted:

I try to fly as many aeries and as often as possible......

I Fly the following - (Have access to or own or am partner in - What Demon likes to call my toy box :twisted: :twisted: - Syndicates & partnerships help keep costs managable and similar to owning 100% in old Witchita iron. I find the H&F route does not work for me & can't understand why not more Microlight syndicates - seems perfect as they tend to sleep at home most nights. For eg 4 R50K you could get 20% share in new 3 axis or serious trike and fly it for similar price to school aerie, but will be NEW - Also utilisation will be higher and thus bring cost per hr down) :wink:

1998 Vans RV4
1981 Cessna C182RGII
2003 VW Cubby (by Cubby wings for Africa)
1981 KR2 (soon to make its maden flight :shock: )
Pending - 19?? Fokker DR7, 19?? Teenie Two & trike of some sort... (Looking for a Syndicate for a 912 if there is any interest out there)

ZU - BWX out of Ballito, often seen heading north along the coast, sometimes on the beach, or even a cattle track at Tugela Mouth!

Hi All

I fly a real :wink: aircraft from my own strip next to Aero 57 (near Lasertronix) at least at the moment it is still at Crosswinds but I will move it over soon.
My pride and joy is a Thunderbird MKII (plse Demon see correct spelling here). Reg # ZS-VOK. Serial # SAA2 the second T-Bird ever built! 8)
She was ge-VOK for a couple of months (a story for another topic :oops: ) but now she is be-VOK again. Did my flight test last week, so as soon as I can get to CAA I will be back in the air. :D

Ps When I had more practice on this Forum I will post a picture of her :?
About my signiture: That has been the most common question asked when talking to the non-converted "But it can glide, not?"
No it does not glide- it FLIES
