I am not sure what the exchange rate would have done to the price, but can guess it to be R190,000 more or less. Everything happens very slowly - constant airspeed of 34mph. Website: buckeyeaviation.com.- check it out.

I was PPL qualified some years ago, stopped for about 10 years and now this absolutely amazing toy - what a pleasure.

Yes! When are you starting? We need more trike pilots.

Johan, ek hoop nie die man is bang gepraat nie. Hy het met ander mense gesels wat gese het dat trike vlieg in die Wes Kaap nie leker is nie as gevolg van die wind. Ons moet hom net oortuig dat dit nie so bad is nie. Hulle se mos "Flying is hours and hours of boredom interupted by moments of shear terror". Mens raak dit gewoond. Ek moet hoeka ook met jou kom gesels oor n conversion.

N vriend van my, in "Mpumaslagatanga",het sy seun na Johan Froneman gestuur vir sy trike opleiding.

Nadat die seun weer terug by die huis was se pa vir hom een oggend

"Nee jong die wind is te sterk om nou te vlieg"
Die seun se
"Wat, hierdie is perfekte vlieg weer. Ek het geleer hoe om in die wind te vlieg" :!:

So gaan loer maar gerus in daar by Johan Froneman hulle.

Groete.

Het verlede naweek vir n vlug saam met Peter (clueless) in sy Trike gegaan vanaf Morning Star. Touch and go op Altona gemaak en op Wintervogel geland. Dit was GREAT - self die train bars gevat en terug gevlieg. Verbaas gewees dat mens basies net die vlerk kan los sonder om uit die lug uit te val. Morning Star lyk nie soos n speeletjie op by te land nie - bome orals :shock: Nou nog net mooi uitvind presies hoe ek moet maak. Bietjie bekommerd as ek die lesse doen en klaar maak gaan ek nie n trike he om te vlieg nie. Tensy ek een gehuur kan huur by Aero sport... So ek werk daaraan Mike.

Sounds like you had a good one - I can recommend Johann Froneman as an instructor from www.wcftc.co.za. He is out at Saldanha but his rates - with your travelling there is very campareable to other local instructors - also Saldanha has probly 80% better weather than local, when the wind blows here - Saldanha is dead calm - send me a PM if u need any more info

If you have microsoft office installed, open picture in "Microsoft office picture manager".

Click File -> Export and follow steps on right hand side of screen.

Hope this helps.

Two pictures my son took while we flying back from a game farm North of Thabazimbi. First one is about 8 miles North of Thabazimbi with the mountain in front and the second about 10 miles South flying over a mist cloud along the Crocodile river.
