I've been very lucky with about 3 low wind days in the last 3 weeks (below 10kt) :D :D Problem is, all 3 were rainy :evil: :evil:

I have logged about 8 hours in 3 weeks (including training) :cry: :cry:

Today looks great :D :D 1/30 already :D :D - (until the Gale Force 40kt :shock: SW reaches here)

From the weather report I see its in EL already, isn't it FAWG? How heavy is the "heavy rain" on the met actuals? :twisted:

Hi FF,

Yes, it has hit us...heavy overcast this morning with light drizzle around 9am and now the drizzle has turned to light downpour with the odd heavy burst....

I believe that the cold front will bring with some significant wind too.....wind still relatively light here....

Now if someone could just combine the Kalahari WX with the sea views :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Here CAVOK and 30+deg no wind...

Even if I did have apass to finish my trike MPL, while in Durbs the WX was such that I did not see a single ML flying over beach (usually plenty when taking kids for their sunrise walk on beack every year) in the 8 days we were there.

-Hmm mmm mm , Just had my second best flight this weekend - First one was when I went solo way back when -
Visited La Mercy this weekend - to be be exact Sunday morning for an introductory flight with their new baby - what a surprise - The Dragonfly is like flying the old Windlass , with the BEEEG wing low and slow , what a pleasure - you can skim the beach or dance amoung the clouds -
Hey Dave well done I want to do a conversion - possibilities game counting , traffic control etc - you want to fly till you run out of juice -
For the other guys and gals eat your hearts out been there done it got the tshirt . - May the Leprachauns protectya , and dont forget my Christmas wish . :roll: :roll: :roll:
