Started with Microlighting at Bapsfontein in 2011. Instructor Larry Eschner.
Did my PPL in 2013 after I got offered a 1/4 share for R100'000-00 in a Piper Archer at Rand Airport.
Still fly my Aquilla regularly from Microland.

I need some tips/advice on flying the 582 Bushbaby tricycle gear configuration. What I did notice is that she sinks a lot quicker than the RV12 on final approach.

Get hold off Cyril Manser at Rhinopark, he knows Bushbaby's like the back off his hand.
Flying feeds the soul!
