Hi le boss. Lekker om te sien daar is nog iemand anders wat nuut is met die hele ding. Ek het ook nou eers begin en doen my opleiding by Aero 57, Centurion, puik instructors wat my leer. My arems, eintlik my hele lyf is seer na elke vlieg van die stress. Ek het verlede week my trike gekoop, dit is a mainair blade 582. Ek is bly dat ek nou al n trike gekoop het want nou kan ek op my tyd gewoond raak aan haar. Aan die begin is jou setup kostes baie want jy wil al die nice to haves he. Ek wil nou al my trike reg kry vir die dag as ek sole is wil ek net vlieg en nie dan eers begin om n trike.......... te koop nie. Ek kan nie wag om te gaan vlieg wanneer ek wil nie.

Ek was by Kroon fly in so twee weke of wat terug (het sommer met my kar gery) en het dit vreeslik geniet en baie by die ander pilots geleer. Kan nie wag vir my eerste fly in met my eie trike nie.

Die “le Boss” is eintlik afgelei van my English Bulldog reun met dieselfde naam. Ek boer met hulle en hy is n tipiese bulldog reun wat daarop roem dat hy deur die nag patrollie loop om die huis terwyl ons almal weet hy doen slegs die roete van die kosbak na die waterbak na die boom en terug na sy slaap tyre. Niks kan hom ontstel nie en hy laat hom deur niks en niemand ontsenu nie. Ek hoop van harte ek kan dieselfde mentaliteit he die dag as ek saam met julle ouens in die lug rond vlieg

Welkom hier, ek en Dish is albei English Bulldog mense. My Tallula-Belle is net baie mooier as sy Tank! . Wys my joune dan wys ek jou myne. Myne doen ook patrollie...jollie patrollie in die bed en eet hoender fillets.

[le boss]

Hi ZS-Nel Jy dink Hoender fillets is erg. Wag tot jou vrou n staande order by die koelkamers het vir gemaalde hoenderkoppe en krokedil patties 2 x n week. Eintlik is hulle net mense in hondelywe.

[ZS-NEL]

kyk hier dan sal jy verstaan. Hoeder fillets en mince van Woolies.

[Tumbleweed]

And they say owners start resembling their pets.

[le boss]

Some serious stuff again guys. MariusD wrote about a his new trike and like me he also just started with his training. Best of luck to him and I hope he enjoys every moment on his new trike. This however poses a question for me and I would like to hear your opinion.

It’s the age old question I suppose: What is the best….?
1. Buying a trike while still in the process of learning? (Before Solo)
2. Buying a trike after obtaining a license or at least after your first Solo?

Personally I like option 2.
Having my own aircraft while still in training means I am responsible for all cost including hangerige, maintenance, etc. My instruction fees stay the same whether I’m in a “borrowed” aircraft or not. I have to pay for fuel whether in my own aircraft or the “borrowed” one. Added enjin\frame hours are for my account etc.

With this in mind, shouldn’t you rather do your training with a “borrowed” aircraft from the flight school? Leave the hangerige, maintenance and added enjin hours to them. In the meanwhile be on the lookout and ask questions about different aircrafts. If the opportunity comes your way take a flip with someone on a different make and model.

Do you really save by flying and learning on your own trike And if you do save money chances are that you end up with a aircraft that is not really suited for you. And the whole process of selling and buying starts all over again.
We know that there is plenty of trikes and models on the market. Average cost range from R 30 000.00 to R 130 000.00. It is definitely a buyers market out there and patience might just be the answer.

I don’t know. Depending on your response I’ll decide

[le boss]

Hi Tribal Croc. laat my weet hoe laat Vrydag jy hier is dan kan ek dalk iets koels vir jou saambring.
