Did plus minus 40 landings this weekend. Power on landings, glide in landings. Down wind engine out landings (engine on idle), Upwind emergency landings. Went very very well! Really enjoying this so much! Plan is to go solo this coming weekend. Just gonna do a few more landings etc. then go for it!

Will keep you guys updated.

Don't rush it as the training is fun as well - but all the best for the solo

[AndyG]

Sounds like you are almost there. As bluesman said don't rush it but enjoy it when it comes as it is an awesome feeling and will be remembered forever.

Keep posting, it's nice to read about it and see the enthusiasm.

Cheers,

Hi there Chris

All of the est for the solo. Let me know who it goes! Sure it must be a moment never to be forgotten!
What make o microlight are you training on so by the way? Do you want to make a career out of 2 or 3 axis, in the microlight world or boeing world?

Hi there Karl

I am training on a 2 axis microlight(aquilla 582).I want to make a career out of those by being an instructor and stuff but as soon as I finish matric, I want to do my helicopter lisense and I want to go into a career with helis hey. Go all the way to a ATPL..Will never stop flying microlights though, It just too much fun.

Karl,

Sounds like you are really enjoying this, like a "duck to water"
Keep it up and keep enjoying - Solo soon !

[extra300s]

Been a bit busy getting my trike ready hence no flying lately. Plus the months training money went to purchasing radio and intercom equipment Very cool system, thanks again Zulu. Money well spent. If weather plays allong I should get some more hours on the Aerotrike.

Allso just heard my SPL is in my post box!

Cheers

Arranged to have some futher instruction, and with the idea to solo at Saldanha this Friday morning - Johann Froneman.
I just hope the weather plays along

[Morph]

Good choice to move to Johan, and good luck

Seems that some instructors will no longer be recommended by me

[Grumpy]

Seems that some instructors will no longer be recommended by me

Why??????
Btw, I'm joining Karl to Johan!!

[Harlequin]

Just for the record.
I hope you are excluding me from any tongue in cheek comments.
I am not legally able send Karl up solo.

Fly safely

Graham,

No of course you are not included! If you decided to change jobs from subterrestrian management to superterrestrial instruction (much better pay) I am sure you would be swamped (swarmed?) with students.

Mr S has overplayed his hand, me thinks.

See you the weekend (weather permitting).

I would of given my left nut to have Harlequin as my "full" instructor. And I know Grumpy would aswell. Or atleast change his avator to read Lucky... The hours I could train with Graham (who is a Grade C instructor and can not send me solo) was brilliant so say the least. No problems there!
