Madala ek is verseker daar as die weer dit toelaat,ek het n skoueroperasie gehaat so 5 dae terug ,so ek moet nog n manier uitwerk om die throttle by te kom. Ek sal n plan maak gelukkig is dit die linker arm so al wat die seer arm moet doen is om gas te gee.Ek gaan moet oorslaap en vroeg Sondag oggend weer terug. Ek het vir my n nuwe fuselarge seil bestel maar hy sal te laat hier wees vir die fly in,so ek sal maar met die ou een moet flieg.Ons sien baie uit daarna met een arm en al,en as die weer sleg is is ons met die 4 wiele daar.

I am looking out for a pilot with Skyranger rating to fly my plane to bloem as i had a shoulder op and can not fly allone.So if there is someone wanting to fly i have the plane if you have the licence. Capt Biggels or Steave Onoins mybe you have someone flying up with you that can take over from Aliwal .

See you there

Coming through for Sat only.

[Rudix]

The weather is looking good, a bit of a tailwind going there on Friday and a crosswind (from the west) coming back on Sunday.

As far as I can find out there is fuel available @ both Sasolburg and Kroonstad, can someone please confirm this ? Would Sunday morning (Sasol) be a problem ? Times that the pumps are open ?

I have not decided on the plane yet but Avgas or Mogas would be fine.

Thanks for any information !

Hope to see you all there,
Fly safe,
Rudi

Rudy, there was no fuel at kroonstad with the EAA convention earlier this year an I doubt if it changed. We filled at Parys.
Jaco and myself are going by KR2.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info and the help.

I had to turn back due to weather, got as far as Sasolburg but the visibility got worse to the point where there was no horizon with the cloud/fog dropping close to ground level, decide I would call it a day and turn back to Rhino. It got so cold that I landed at Heidelberg to put on more warm clothes ! When I left Rhino the outside temp was 11.5C (6am) but by the time I turned around it was only 3C. I had a 15 mph tail wind going there and about the same headwind coming back.

So, looks like I will miss Sun N Fun this year

Hope the weather is ok in Bloem, looking forward to the photos !

PLEASE fly safe,
Rudi

PS. This is what it looked like before it got so bad that I decided to turn around, sorry for the bad quality of the photo but the light was so low the camera had a hard time trying to focus and I was so busy flying that I could not spend much time trying to take photos.
