THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"

[ME 109]

Had a great flight this morning.....especially the runway inspection at Petit. My son, Aidan, also enjoyed it emensly. Dad, that is what I like!

AMH is all washed and ready to go to Mozambique. Clearance is still outstanding, but that will be sorted this week (thanks Gavin). Thanks to Sky Riders Flight School, Merv and Fanie, for all your support. You guys are simply the best there is. We are going to take some fancy wing mounted photographic equipment with us (thanks Fanie), to post when we come back, just to make you all jealous.

Just a few more flights this weekend before next weekends departure. Sunny skies...warm salt water...with open beaches, are just awaiting. Can't wait for another epic trip.

Enjoy the trip

Dankie Andries.

Yes, as Bundy posted the fridge was vandalised and almost all its contents redistributed. But, we have not given up yet. The fridge has been moved to a safer place and the contents will be restocked from the profits. We are thinking of a method to supply only a limited amount of drinks at a time to the lapa in a cooler box when there is an event. That means the bulk of the stock will not be in the lapa. You place an order with me or Dionne or Johannes and we fetch what you ordered plus a few popular extras. Lets see if that works and if not, we will be forced to revert back to bringing your own drinks.

AMH and CPT are packed and ready to go to Moz.

Anyone keen to join me for an overnighter at Brits Airfield on 12/13th July? ...Sounds like a lekker jol, they calling for a mass fly in on the Sat!!!

I take my hat of to you both for your dedication and determination.

Let's hope this solves the problem.

Good plan.

When are you back Andries? Let me know the dates and I will try organise a "Boschcamp" again so you can join us.

Or maybe we can even invite ourselves over to Secunda? Round up Tumbleweed, Grobbie7 and the other local thugs?

Alan, the weekend of 21/22 June is in the middle of my short 3 week visit home. maybe then? A Secunda gathering was at the back of my mind for some time now but a Boskamp can work as well " Secunda is more or less in the bush"

Hey'a, We are in Moz!!

Very univetfull trip down but as usual the WX is not playing along.

We rigged Saturday morning and did some short test flights but because of high winds we had to keep them short.

Come Sunday morning, we did a short, 45 min, cabbage patch flight. At one stage my grnd speed was 13 mph, the wind can pump here at 8. But for us it was no sweat. On landing because of windgurus prediction of 30 knts in the late afternoon, we quickly derigged the wing onto the ground. And low and behold..... it is howling outside as I am typing.

What a flight though.

Will send some pics shortly.

[Bundy]

Hope you guys are having fun Paul.

Hope the weather settles for you soon, a bit blustery here too.

Enjoy the rest.

thanks Alan. Looks like it will improve from Tuesday onwards. Wings on the ground until then.

Luckily there are many bricks to block the wind.
