Re: The Kalahari Bundu bash Problems...
Sorry for the silence...
I would LOVE to go next year but unfortunetly I don't have an MPL or trike!
I want to see if me, louis, my dad and maybe Rae henderson could go in two different trikes. (I'm not holding my breath!)
I don't have SPL as I am not 16, so will i be allowed to fly with an instructor?
Thanks

Re: The Kalahari Bundu bash Problems...
By the nature of the beast you are climbing, you are always allowed to fly with instructor. Rather get your training in order, before you do someting like that. It might (I'm not saying it will) shift your focus a bit. It is always better to complete your training with instructor, to learn some good habits, before going on a expedition, and get caught by the hype of the event.Trikenut wrote:I don't have SPL as I am not 16, so will i be allowed to fly with an instructor?
I'm also considering this event. Must be fun. It is a few hours flying from cape town. But I guess it can be planned. 2 up and 2 down.

I will think of that, i just think it would be loads of fun to go as a kid before i become an old fart like all of you!
I don't think it would shift my focus, well maybe just a bit, but a chance to do proper expedition flying and meet up with all the guys just makes me feel happy and cheerful inside (Profound i know...).

"Brass ballas"
Once you've reached that point come fly with the "ou toppies".
Listen to the ou manne. You'l be flying all weather conditions and push youself way over the limit. If you are not fully fit(mentaly & phisicaly) you will open youself up to error.
I do agree with Wargames , it will shift your focus.Better get you'r training behind and do a few short trips. Gives you Plenty of time to train yourself.
Cheers

Re: The Kalahari Bundu bash Problems...
Agree with Charlie Whiskey. Get the training behind you and build up some hours before hitting the big trips. I have been on the KBB and it is brilliant but the weather can also have you shi##ing yourself. I would hate to see your enthusiasm snuffed out so early in your flying career.

Count me in. Done it a couple of times trike and fixed wing. Really was fun and absolutely worthwhile. The coolest thing was the comaraderie and flexible agenda, freedom , and just letting your hair down. Everyone was on the same page... this is a must.http://www.valleyflightsmicrolighting.com
