Newbie Introductions

[Dish]

Morning gents, im chuffed to see that there are a bunch of new members among us, (you know who you are) . How about taking five mins to introduce yourself?? maybe let us know where you are, what you fly (or don't) and perhaps a bit about you. The forums quite a close knit bunch and it would be great to get to know some of the newer guys... eg.

Dish, otherwise known as Chris. Live in North Riding, work in the software industry and fly a Bantam from Aeroden.

Hi all.
I certainly do not feel like a Newbie but hey, seeing that I mostly read (for the last two years or so) but do not say much.
Suppose it would be unfair to know all the guys and they don’t know me.

ZU-Nathan, Aquilla 582, One of the Kroon “Manne” on the Numbi trip. IT industry, Pretoria FAWB area.

HI all,

I dunno if I qualify as a newbie, but I have been off air for a while and can only now say that I am really flying...

I live in Centurion, about 5 mins from Eagle Creek / Ingwe... I fly a Raptor 582... Just finishing my license up with Flo at centurion flight centre...

Flew my own airie on my own for the first time today, not a school trike... SOOOOO AWESOME!!!

Cheers

Craig

Hi, I'm from Nelspruit, surely the "newest" newbie around. Started flight lessons with Brian Young this week!!! Been in motor sport and powerboat racing all my life (Formula 1 Powerboats & Lotus 7's), but this sport is awesome !!! Been 220 kph on water, but 40 mph on a trike just before lift off is just as scary at the moment. Will invest in one of these "flying contraptions" as soon as i now a bit more.
Thanks for the invite to introduce ourselves, it really makes one feel you want to be part of this sport.

so you went solo ??? well done chop

Heya Dish,

Lets call it a second solo... Went solo on the school Aquilla, but this was in my own airie... really awesome...

[Hadams]

So you were the lucky "unlucky" chap to buy ZU-BOBBELAAN! (former pano trike)

Hope you enjoy the trike!

[Hadams]

Heya Henry,

Yup, I bought the primate... dunno why this is unfortunate though... Since Flo has worked his magic, She is gorgeous, and flys like a charm... I will be putting up a new pic in a few days once I have taken some new ones, or got someone to take one while I am flying...
