The lecture is the departure point for this....

What about the hands on practical side and the time constraints it imposes?

Sorry guys. Please forgive me... I cannot do it on the 7th. I have committed to attend a family reunion in the Free State that weekend. 10th or 31st is still good for me.

By the look of things there isn't much interest anyway. The Cape Gyronauts either a) have no interest in flying together; b) know everything there is to know about formation flying; or c) they don't follow the forum.

Either way, once we have decided on the date we can invite them or if its just the three of us then we can easily arrange it between us or do it informally over a braai at my place? I'm game.

The apathy saddens me.

Len - Ek is bereid om die datum te verander, maar......sodra jy jou M24 gekry het gaan vlieg ons! vhpy :lol:

31st is also fine with me. Braai sounds lekke!

Remember on the 31st it is Currie Cup Final!

Dis nog meer rede om te kuier Thinus!!! Ek is bok!

Lyk my CAA wil my planne met die M24 bietjie belemmer... BCAR-T sertifikasie nonsens... sal maar bly lewe in hoop dat dit gou gebeur! Ek kan nie wag nie!

10 or 31st Oct is fine for me (although I have a Joburg and back flight on the 31st, landing at 1715). Don't have my November flying roster yet, so can't say if I'm here on the 7th Nov.

Will definitely like to fly into Overberg if the wx is fine.

Can't believe no Cape gyronauts are flying to Gariep for the AGM! :(

Hi Thinus
Ek sal met die Sycamore kom as jy wil he^ ek moet. Kanse is dalk dat Paul met sy masjien wil invlieg en as hy nog nie solo (out of the circuit) is nie sal ek seker saam met hom In vlieg. Ek gaan beslis nie in ry nie!
Hoekom vra jy?
