Thanks to all who attended microland Braai on Saturday. As usual an opportunity to talk Kak with good people. My trike is almost ready to fly again. Just waiting for Andre to finish AP paperwork. See photos of new colour scheme. Can't wait to fly it again. Andre tells me it will feel quite different to fly with shiny new sail.

Arranged a very last minute gaggle to fly into The Rose Airfield near Rayton on Saturday.
Joined by others from Baps and Rhino Park we had a lekker coffee at this great little Airstrip whose facilities are excellent for their locals.
Don't forget about the Tailwinds Fun Nav and Monthly braai this coming Saturday!! Jul 16th.
See Route details under "Events"
Some pics taken by Gavin LW...(will post mine later)

For those flying to the bossveld game farm next weekend please find attached a Mapsource route file that you can upload to your Garmin GPS. Just change the file extension to .gdb

NW (Mhdg 306 deg) of the tower.
Was at ML on Sat to work on the plane and the conditions looked great. No wind on the deck, some nice smooth gliding approaches were demonstrated by student and resident alike. I think I'm missing the best time of year to fly!
Bundy, do you have the GPS co-ordinates of the Bapsfontein tower ?
