Microlighters

To all the weather experts,

In your opinion, should we have flyable weather once again by this weekend?

Thanx Bennie - I know what I will be doing this weekend! Been a while since I've seen many microlight aeries in the Microland/Bapsfontein skies.

Been plenty of bliks flying around lately, especially the previous Saturday.

Henni

There is a group of flying out of Microland every Saturday morning early and most Sunday as well (especially afternoons). We are Ray, Massimo, Marius, Greg, Roy and Andre. Some other regular flyers are Henk, Cobra, Tjoek, Pieter (soon), Joe, Lionel, etc. Then there are some otehrs whom I do not know.
If you ever want to join us, them pm Massimo, DieselFan or myself.
If you have any exciting new destinations, then let us know. Bronkies dam is getting tiring....
Andre

Hi Andre,

Thank you for the invitation. I'm also an early flier on the weekends, mostly every weekend, so I'll call you guys on the radio this weekend.

Regards,

Henni

Hi Henni waneer kom jy op Rhino kuier??????????


About the weather like some weather men they sucked all the info out of the thumb.

I find this site pretty good as well.

Hi Agent,

Binnekort! Miskien nog sommer hierdie naweek. Ek het so 'n ruk terug met die MXII soontoe gevlieg, maar die wind het gewaai en toe ek naby julle koppie kom het ek liewers omgedraai omdat my brandstof reeds laag was.

Die Mizer is 'n ander storie - hou 50 liter en vlieg 70 mph, so nou kan ek dit veilig doen.

Groete,

Henni

True, and I could imagine that the residents at Bronkies dam have a similar feeling about microlighters........

LIGHT WESTERLY MY G@T I turned onto rwy 31 at Bara and started rolling. Next minute Im indicating 60 mph and on the GPS 12 mph climbing like a homesick angel. Next minute indicated 45 mph and GPS about 30mph It was one of the more eventfull take off`s in my life proved that if the plane doesnt know the wind is howling all will be ok landing was on par with the take-off to me it felt like I was flapping the wings all the way down. Not a bad days flying but not relaxing for sure. Just goes to show you can never trust the weather buro

Try this site, they do an extended forecast as well and have been pretty accurate with regard to wind speeds etc.
