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

[mulderpm]

Hi Paul

See you there tomorrow morning
Take off 6:15?

Cool Nick.

Stef, Jaco and Faizel will also be there. 6H15 lets go.

[Madman]

Ok, I see the Chain Gang are routing via Klip from the South. Whoever is at ML on Saturday morning and want's to join in is most welcome, we are meeting the rest of the gaggle at Delmas. My feeling though is to first check out the blommetjies and then join up at Delmas for coffee. The most blommetjies are south west of Delmas. This is on route for the CG, so they can look at them twice.

I see Bundy is busy. Jaco, Stef, Faizal, Dawid, Joe, Conrad, Pieter are you in? I am going to FAKT for breakfast afterwards.

See all tomorrow

If you boyz are keen,we can all have a breakie at Circus after buzzing the flowers..I know the Delmas trip is short for you guys,plus weather looks superb for tomorrow

From there we can head home

Wat se die manne

[Conrad]

The Petit boys are also going for the Cosmos thing, if you wanna see how many trikes can get together.
I will be there, but need to do a few test runs before, so, ...will see.

[Bundy]

Ok...so can anyone help me with a set of plugs for my 582? Service time tomorrow after flying.

Fanie = none
Hans= none
Alex= in china

Will replace them as soon as Alex is back...promise

[mulderpm]

Midas sells them. R32 per plug. NGK BR8ES

[Bundy]

Thanks Paul but I want the ones with the solid contact (that's the only difference)

[Madman]

Autozone sells them..last I paid just over R100 for four

[Bundy]

Sorry guys, I'm out. Wont make take off time...need to finish this site tomorrow because next week is even worse.

You're solo Stef...have a jol dudes, I must not complain...good to be busy these days, just missing the GEES.

Gonna drop off the crew and see you there at ML when you all get back.

[mulderpm]

Looks great tmrw...am....?

[Bundy]

Looks great tmrw...am....?

Yip it was awesome! The weather this weekend was the best ever this year I believe. Did not wanna come back down!

Eish boyz....92,4 hrs.....and getting real fresh in the mornings now....not looking forward to you know what!

Found a runway on Sunday I'd never seen before....anyone know whose it is?

About 4NM NE of Rayton. S 25 42'09.02" E 28 35'40.13".....the locals friendly? Or should we stick to 1000ft?

[Bundy]

By the way Guys...Steve Bosch called me on Sat.

He wants us to go overnight at his spot but the prob is finding a weekend...

This weekend = FAKT Fly in and AGM
Next weekend = Baberton
Weekend after= Monthly braai (Steve away then so cant go in any case)
May 4th looks like the first possibility?

Wat se die manne?

[mulderpm]

Sounds good Bundy. Because of Barberton (18 hrs flying @ 15 l/h @ R 12.97/ ltr = RRRR's) I decided to keep other trips short (lower cost). Steves place falls perfectly into this category.

Got to hanagar this morning & puddle of fuel under tank. The drain kock seal has gone frot. I have replaced it before so seems to be an ongoing repair. Maybe I am using the wrong component. I buy the O-ring from the hardware store. Maybe the material is not fuel resistant?

Awsome weather though.

Hey Alan,
Did you come right with plugs for your aerie? I have a spare set. You can also get from Comet which is where I got these. I bought two sets when I last replaced them. They were a bit over R100 for a set of four. Contact me if you want mine. 0843590276.

Cheers Frank
