Re: Wintervogel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Westerly normally smooth, cross wind landing not a problem on 02/20 depending wich one favourites the wind the most. Avoid easterly cross wind, but then normally the easterlies make for bad flying weather all over in our side of the woods due to rotors and standing waves over the mountains.

Re: Wintervogel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something you don’t often see, microlights at Stellenbosch. Thanks for the hospitality and the good breakfast chaps. Only Hans and I braved the turbulence the rest turned back???

Trikenut.. a bit late but my dash as promised. Only analogue don’t like to put all the egs in one basket with electronics.

A beer to anyone who can guess who this is...he’s happy and flies (sometimes) from wintervogel.

Others spend their time battling to get on top of things, they should try flying.

Karl’s abode.
Safe flying chaps.

Did they slap you with the R40 per trike landing fee as they tried to do to me and Dirk?

Welcome back to SA, left you a message on your cell.
The Stellenbosch guys set up a family day and were great. I think they are trying their utmost to repair past damage to the pipe and cloth pilots.
I was not approached for landing fees???
See you on the weekend.
