Ok sorry we do not have the ocean BUT we have Bronkhorst Spruit dam to fly around, so what is it about water.
I fly fron Rhino park and had the pleasure of meeting Robin Hood from Klerksdorp yesterday who had hi trike there for some work to be done.
I as most of you know bwcause of my groot bek fly the only 2 seater Bantam which is a single seater because of my size, not that I am fat but the bone structure is so heavy.
Also one of our visitors yesterday was Big D and he also fitted into the Bantam but not easy, remeber the song from the Beatles " with a little help from my friends" well thats how we got Big D into the Bantam.
The break fast's are still not to good at our field but the peopole are great. Then there was Dreamer who does not know his hanger number who was around yesterday as well as junior Arnulf (Unicorn) and mama was flying mit junior. Now guys , bliksem I think that is nogal cool as most of our wives will not fly with us but mama is airborn.

Yeah, where was the video camera with Diesel pushing and Agent pulling, Once you are in a big oke fits easy in a Bantam and getting in and out is all about teqnique as Agent illustrated
Yip, I must be honest here, that Bantam is awesome, and what I really like about it is the unobstructed view, and it is downright gorgeous - Might have to get me one of those one day...
Thanks for the chat Agent and nice meeting Unicorn and Mrs Arnulf in ZU-EIN
PS: Unicorn, I was very impressed by the way you handled those monster rotors

Yep It was good meeting some new micro lighters. Met the friendliest people and had the worst hamburger I have ever had! Damn, the coffee at Rhino was great though.
Just hope the next time I meet some of the Rhino guys I don't have to spend so much money to be able to do it - the repairs to a microlight are not so micro!!
Arnulf, I always wondered why people use this -

- on the group but after watching you take off with those rotors I now know why. Well done I don't think I would have left the ground yesterday if my Aquilla was flyable.

Hehe, with neither of these 2 being anywhere near bantamweights, that must have been a sight to behold

And how did that poor little ZooDiddle manage to get off the ground, I wonder

:D

The Bantam is gorgeous and once in looks very comfortable, but you can see Big D's had no stripper practice as he struggled to swing on the pole

seriously though it looks like Agent has the procedure waxed and makes it look easy - esp for a big boned guy.
Defintely got to go for a flip in one.
