Microlighters

Rhino is quite famous for it's fog in the morning, and Saturday was no exception. Lots of guys standing around waiting to get in the air. Once in the air, I heard someone calling from Kitty Hawk - wants to take off - on the radio if it was clear to come and land at Rhino park. Although Rhino is only 4 miles from Kitty Hawk, it lies in a small valley next to a koppie - and the fog loves it.

30 minutes after sunrise and Rudix seriously wants to take off to go to Betlehem. At that stage he has checked his camera about 27 times.
The sun trying to get through.
The fog broke eventually to be safe for take-off. Boy, what a sight.

Met up over the dam with the flying banner. This gyro looks GOOD. Could see the black about 10 miles out in the air.
Unfortunately my headset went on the blink, so the flight was shortlived. Back on the ground there was some serious training on at the park.

Thanks for the foties Leon,
Sorry that you couldn't join me for the flip.
We'll have to have a Jack or two on the ground while your aerie gets ATF

Just quickly knocking off the 25hrs proving flights before I'm allowed out of the cabbage patch. Then I'll pop over to Rustenburg for that pizza.

Dankie Paul,
'n Lang en frustrerende pad, maar nou die moeite werd.
Jy sal nou weet hoe die gyro gogga jou byt

You Bet make sure you are hungry.

The pictures loose too much resolution on the forum, therefore lost the plot on the first post.

Glen, I got this . Why don't you tell CAA you intend flying from Middelburg from now on. Fly RWW to Middelburg on Thursday, which is then in your proving flight range limit , hangar one night with JFK, then to Barberton on Friday, which is again within your proving flight range limit, back to Middelburg on Sunday. Monday you tell CAA you don't like it in Middelburg, you're moving back to Pretoria.

VOILA.

Hi Leon / Peter,
Got my Special Permit from CAA today.

So I will be in Barbeton from Friday!!

Hi Glen
Hey thats great you will have those 25hrs clocked up in no time, looking forward seeing you here in Rustenburg. I will follow you to Grootmarico in my car and maybe we can have one or two
Hey Leon

Regarding the registration of an airplane, can I choose my own registration number?

Hi THI,
You can register your own choice. It costs you R2000 more.
There are howevere some limitations. For instance I wanted my new plane to be registered WWW, but ICAO standards now dictate no three letters the same.
As it is a gyro it has to start with R (standing for Rotorcraft)
