Yes, I will be flying in a 210 Turbo this afternoon from Wonderboom to Hoedspruit. Spending tonight at Balule. Tomorrow we fly to Tabazimbi and spend Friday and Saturday evening on a farm there. Looking forward to it!! I hope you have nice weather this weekend. Enjoy! (^^)

I hope you guys get all your flying done this weekend. I wanted to do my last x-country this morning until the Met office said it's blowing 15 kts over Harties and increasing. :? Spent the morning doing forced landings instead.

On a happier note, I popped into Rainbow for a peek at my aerie and she's looking beauuuutiful with her new wing vhpy vhpy Two weeks from today and she's coming home to Microland! Can't wait to tag along on these fly aways...and to start flying on weekends like a normal person! :lol:

My prop is in my longe in 3 pieces. Borrowed Hans' balancing tool. She needs 5g and 8g on the two replaced blades. Won't be finished by this weekend. Flew on Thurday morning with heavy dew. Visor misted up so badly that it was dangerous to fly. 2 circuits and landed. Had my fix though.

Enjoy your flying.

Unlucky BC.... sh!t happens dude. Is this your solo CC? Hope you get it out the way asap. IIRC that's the last big step before the "Orange Boekie". :lol: Remember the 18th Aug....booking not essential but attendence compulsory! (^^) 8) We can celebrate the arrival of the Cobra to ML in style. (!!) I have arranged for a few good friends to join us on the day and will need some willing pilots to get them all in the air for a "taste". (Hint hint :mrgreen: )

It was suppose to be my first one with Merv into controlled airspace and I was quite looking forward to talking with the tower. I've got a sneaky suspicion I got sent solo CC when the instructors weren't in the mood to freeze their a$$es off :lol: :lol:

Ja, Bundy...my internal spell check is not so good. ^ longe = lounge. ## I am still coughing. ## Visited Peter (Mr. P-Prop) in JHB on Saturday. Lekker chatting about our MFledge days. ($$) Also had "old" Louis Meyer over in the afternoon. ($$) Ons was braaf en stupid daai dae. Luckily we survived. ## There is a fly-in 4th Aug to Heidelberg (see Events). (-) (-) Hope my prop will be back on AMH by then.

Fly often and safe vhpy :mrgreen: vhpy

What’s happening at Micro Land this Saturday? Weather looks good so far!

Paul, how is your prop coming on?

We need to fit those new carb rubbers to DBP this weekend. Bundy, do you know if Alex dropped them off at Hans?

Will we be doing some (^^) after flying?? puff
