IS IT BAD TIMING TO START MICROLIGHTING NOW(summer winds)
Thanks Henni
Will have the talking luggage with me anyway, but its nice to know what to expect. We have had a good giggle at the MXII POH which actually teaches you to fly yourself from gentle hops to take-off.
Edited: Sorry for the hijack Mario.

I flew again this morning,the weather was perfect land twise on my own!! when I started closing the throttel and lining up for runway the plane needs a lot of right rudder to keep it on the centre line,why?I just got out of a righthand bank flying clockwise,is it due to engine torque that in less now?

No, this is not normal. Check to see if one of your spoilerons is not stuck in the upright position. Next see if the aliminium fixed trim tab on your rudder is still in place.
Apart from the above and a possible unknown crosswind, I cannot think of any other explanation - engine torque will not do this - not on a MXII!

Hi Mario,mario.kruger wrote:...is skidding moontlik?, ons het die kring baie klein gehou
Met daardie hoeveelheid dihedral sal die buite vlerk definitief baie lig as dit sou kon gebeur en sy sal wil rol - dit behoort 'n mens te kan agterkom. Moenie bekommerd wees nie, ek vermoed dat dit eerder 'n dwarswind was. Ek het baie ure op daardie aanloopbaan spandeer en met daardie bome en windrigting kan landings meeste van die tyd 'n regte hanvol wees. Jy leer op die regte plek, sodra jy daar klaar is sal landings vir jou baie makliker wees.
Mooi bly,
Henni

I.put in another 40mins this morning,weather was great.All landings were very close to perfect,I smell a solo very soon. although it was good I used a lot of runway,still scared to push the stick forward!!.
Hennie dit was gister seker net n dwarswind gewees want vanoggend was alles 100.
