Hi guys, happy owner of Cobra ZU-KBP and very very happy owner of the license I got this morning. Weather didn't want to play along, but a big thank you to my instructors Mervin, Fanie and Larry and to Steve who did the flight test and showed me more patience than I probably deserved.

I'm based at Microland, looking forward to seeing more guys get active there and joining on some fly-aways.

Cheers
Jaco

Looks like it is time for my yearly update vhpy

Since I have added a new toy to the toybox I am updating the list of the planes I am currently flying (Not building).

Here is the flying contents of the toyboxat Rhino Park.

Image

ZU-CGR, Rand Robinson Engineering KR2 powered by a turbo charged, watercooled 2.1l VW based engine swinging a 2 blade P-Prop. Has been re-painted since this photo was taken.

Image

ZS-VYZ, Rand Robinson Engineering KR2 power by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.4l VW based engine swinging a 2 blade P-Prop.

Image

ZU-AEN, Rans S12 powered by a Rotax 618 swinging a 3 blade NC prop. I learned to fly on this plane and she is still fun!

Image

ZU-EJS, Savannah powered by a Rotax 912EX now swinging a Woodcomp 3 blade prop.

Image

ZU-BSE, Bushbaby powered by a Rotax 912UL now swinging a Warp 3 blade prop.

Hanger space has become a problem.....

Fly safe,
Rudi

Hi Rudi, that collection of babies looks rather nice. Tell me i wonder if you wouldnt mind lending me a protractor/ blade setter from one of your three bladers? Bit of a cheek i know to ask, but i need to set up one of my students prop , and i lost track of my one ages ago.

Hi Sue,

Thanks! No problem, I just need to retrieve my protractor from the last guy who used it, he is based at my field so I hope to see him this weekend. Will drop you a SMS as soon as I have it!

Fly safe,
Rudi

Hi there all fellow microlighters. After a number of atempts over the last year I have now managed to register on the microlighters forum. I am the proud owner of Bravo Oscar Golf (aquilla1 with 582) . Sounds better than BOG. Currently hangered at Microland or sometimes at leuwkop. Got my license in december last year so due for renewal soon. Have sunup about 30 hours on BOG since acquiring her in March.
Anyone have info or advice on arranging fuel refills at Harrismith or somewhere else in that area? I want to plan a trip to Drakensburg sometime.
Cheers Frank

Hi there Frank, :)

I dont believe we've met yet? I'm terrible with names though so perhaps we have? :lol:

Glad you finally got registered and please join in our Microland Thread (!!)

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18384&start=210

We have a monthly braai at ML every 3rd Sat of the month, (next one 20th Oct) if weather allows we do a lekker sortie in the morning and then route back home to the airfield for a bit of serious "hanger talk" (^^) Follow the above thread and please come and join the rest of us.

Come join the fun (!!)

Hey guys I'm told i have to make a post here.

I have done a grand total of 3 hours (duel) and i am already strongly addicted to WSC. I am learning to fly at micro-land, if all goes according to plan i will hopefully be finishing my license in the first half of next year.

Chow for now
