Looks like I'm the last one to get home after the Africa Cup! Landed Potties just after 10h00 from Standerton. 180 miles - 3hours 15minutes. ( I love this 80 litre tank! Landed with about 30 litres left) (^^)

Lets just say that it was an interesting morning, from delaying take-off for an hour and a half due to ground fog, through negotiating low cloud, middle cloud, white cloud, grey cloud, small cloud, big cloud, (all of it broken to various degrees) flying low, flying high, circling down through holes, climbing up through holes, deviating from track numerous times, and last but not least, flying through horrible mountain rotors 5 miles from Potties in order to get down to the runway.

Jeez, trikes are stronger than I believed.... :roll:

Too tired now for pics and stuff. Will do later in the week.

Ek is so twee myl wes van Elands verby - nadat ek die hele tyd die vreeslikste planne moes uitdink tussen Kriel en wes van Grobbies om uit die wolke aan die een hand, en die grond aan die ander hand, se pad te bly. Dit was die mees tegniese cross country wat ek nog gevlieg het. My hoogste was 9500 ft amsl , en my laagste so 300 ft agl. Met 'n paar keer omdraai en 'n ander pad try. (**)

Daar by jou verby toe bekyk ek daai runway so regs van my met 'n lang leep-oog, maar ek sien toe as ek NOU land, gaan ek nie weer die guts kry om op te styg nie - toe kap ek maar aan Potties toe in die vreeslikste turbulensie al onder die wolke wat al hoe harder aan my suig, daar oor die Springbokvlakte! En toe ek daai wind oor die berge by Potties kry - GROOT G-force shifts.... :shock:

Ek het bietjie gesit en gil op 'n stadium, en begin voel-voel waar daai rooi lever is as iets dalk breek. :o

Ek kon nie besluit na landing wat is die moegste nie - my arms en maagspiere, of my kop! (**)

Maar ek is heel, en die Cobra is heel. :mrgreen:

(Ek moet bieg - al is ek HOE lief vir Geel Kerneels: Ek is bly ek was nie in hom nie...ek sou verseker landplek begin soek het! :lol: Die Cobra voel vir my of hy beter "penetrasie" het deur turbulensie. Die vlerk rock & roll in jou hande, maar die neus pitch baie minder op en af, en die undercarriage sit meer stabiel in die lug. Niks van voete wat oor die horison probeer gaan nie. Die roll is egter swaarder - jy vang 'n mooi duik as een vlerk skielik in die turbs optel! Maar dis vir my oukei - jy vlieg maar net die steep turn waarin jy geplaas is terug na level. :? :? )
