Bantam Flying

Postby waynepowell » Mon Apr 02, 2012 1:37 pm

Hi All,

I recently did a Bantam conversion and in an attempt to get as much exposure on the machine as possible, I would like to appeal to any Bantam owners in the Pretoria / Jo Burg area to give me shout if they are going up and have a right seat that's short of a bum.

I would be more than happy to share costs and am available at the drop of a hat.

No worries - just that im a 100kg so we would need to make fuel allowances and DA allowances, but moving into winter, think theres a good chance you make get a few calls as my pax aint so keen on getting cold....

Hi Dish,

Thanks for the admin - Yes, I forget that these little LSA have such stringent weight limitations, so apologies for not clearing that up from the outset.

I am looking forward to the call and hope it comes soon!

How often do you fly?

I try and fly most weekends... done with the 4a.m wake up call and beetling out to the airfield before sunrise.... screw that s*** - now i generally take a gentle drive out to the airfield by 3 ish in the afternoon.... fuel up, pre flights, etc and get airborne for a late afternoon, "sunset" flight... land put the plane away and crack a cold frosty!!! Generally a Saturday afternoon (if the bulls arent playing ) or a sunday -
away this weekend and in germany for the two weeks after that so the call wont happen in april, but lets look towards may....
