Redelike aanloopbaan sonder dorings of bome aan die punte (600m)
Plek waar ons die trikes kan vasmaak effens beskut teen wind
Netjiese badkamers (anders gaan die vrouens moan :roll: )
Mooi area om in rond te vlieg vhpy !

wel jy kannie n runway bou sonder n kous nie en 2 runways vir die wisselinde winde as jy die plek het sal ook lekker wees.
N lekker groot boma waar ons vuurmaak en braai onder die sterre is dalk n goeie idee.
I LOVE TO FLY

Dit klink soos die Springbokvlakte.
Reel net vir petrol sodat ons kan refuel.
Dit sal lekker wees om nog 'n landingsplek te kry waar ons ook kan kuier.

Hi PR.

Nice to see to someone building a strip and the offer of a hot breakfast is always tempting.

What we need are your GPS co-ordinates so we can see exactly where you are and work out if its a morning flight or a weekend trip.

If you try hard enough, you may be able to get a wind sock from your tyre supplier. Try for orange as the yellow one blends in with the veld, especially when they are faded and its winter.

Hi Guys,
Sorry for hi-jacking the thread, but I'm also planning to build two strips in the Groot Marico Area (one 800m the other 400m)and would like to pick up on the idea of the Tyre Companies sponsoring the windsocks. Anybody got a contact for me??

We need to get a flight of Savannah's together and all fly there for a weekend. I would love to see a whole lot of Sav's lined up in the bush. vhpy

There is a game lodge on the Sprongbok Flats with a good strip not far from Zebedelia (20 miles SE), called Leshoka Thabang. The food is good, accomodation excellent and there are usually always some juvenile lions to play with in the restaurant and bar area (seriously).
Lots of game to see and lovely pub area.
Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints

Hi, Ek merk jou vordering met belangstelling..Is tans besig met my MPL en hoop om spoedig klaar te maak...Ek merk jou plek is redelik naby my Quad venue. (www.elandsquadcamp.co.za)
Het pas n runway gebou en is nou besig met n klein Hanger. Be-oog om baie spoedig die eerste Microlighters daar te ontvang..
Daar is n paar keen microlight ouens in die loskop area..Ons sal vir jou kom kuier (DV)
Sterkte.
Ek praat jou thaal...
