Naaaah.... I'll rather stay in touch with my feminine side and sit a wee-wee. :wink:

The only "tailie" I have flown was a Pilatus Porter ... did the take-off and all but left the "beta" to my instructor! (^^)

Thanks Bud. Their website does not mention any flying in SA other than Larry's. Seems there are in actual fact around 7. Was supposed to see Jan's in FARG today, but life got in the way. Will try track down FcO's owner. Dying to go for a ride in one of these...

Hi All
Managed to speak Koen the owner of ZU-FCO today and his pride and joy is just about ready to fly, I have to admit it looks pretty tidy with the Jabi 6Cyl upfront.

Cheers
Darren
