Microlighters

Hi guys, i am a new member as you would have guessed from the heading..... I am 17 years old and flew for the first time in a trike last saturday......and all i can say is WOW...
:D
It is not the first time i have flown as my dad has his ppl and has been flying for quite a long time, he built his own bush baby sold it and bought a piper cherokee (sp?) 235 ( in which he holds the world record for most take off's and landings in 24 hours) and has recently done a conversion to a twin engine cesna.

the weekend before my first trike flight at a braai some one mention them, i had seen them flying over head before but never really thought about it, so i decided i would like to go for a spin in one to see what it was like from up there, so that next saturday my dad got hold of one one of his friends that used to fly trikes and he suggested we talk to Larry Eschner, we did and organised a flight at the Bapsfontein aerodrome.

I flew with Larry and was breathless on several occasions....i cant compare it to any of the forms of flying i have experianced before, it was simply amazing....


The bug has bitten very hard indeed and i hope to be starting my training as soon as possible!!

cheers brad

Welcome Brad.....and congratulations on contracting "the disease". Looking forward to hearing from you again. Keep us informed when you start training.

Hiya Moose...... Welcome to the group.

Safe flying.

Welcome Moose,

Flying in a trike is truly a uniquely wonderful experience. Keep us posted with the progress of your training. In the meantime you are more than welcome to hang around here and chat. Check out the Training Talk forum for more detail on training

Ja, flying a trike is moose-rr lekker.

Welcome

OK ,…so now you’ve got the disease. Be prepared to swore off the babes and non –flight-mad friends and empty your mind of everything else but aeronautica.(Never mind the last remark. This disease does the mind emptying thing all by it self).

Mose groot welcome

lol thanks guys :D my dads friend that used to fly trikes still has his one, i think we will be going some time this week to check out what it looks like, he is happy for us to use it we just have to get the wing checked by a proffesional and i think my dad has a new 582 engine we will put in there...any way i will keep you guys posted on my progress and thanks for the comments!


Cheers brad
