Boach, ek het in jou errie gevlieg, saam met n Russiese outjie wat glad nie Engels kon praat nie, en my Russies begin en eindig in "Da, Njet en Nasdarovya"! Die "effense" komunikasie probleempie ten spyte, het ek die vluggie nogal geniet. Lekker errietjie.

Vlieg veilig!!

Yes thats correct brought it from Hubi and your quite right it is an awesome aerie, so far I am very impressed. I am amazed at the speed versus fuel consumption of the plane. Flew from FACT to FAVV in 3hrs 50 min take off to touchdown on only 123 l of fuel and there was no tail wind. So that makes it as economical ( well almost ) as any of the LSA and microlight types with almost double the speed. Only thing I don't really like on the plane is the Dynon flying instrument I would much prefer steam gauges but the Dynon engine monitor is nice. Also controls are very very light but I suppose it's just a matter of getting used to them.

Great pictures guys, brings back lots of memories for me!
Here are some I took on Tuesday evening flying from my club here in Southern Sweden

Looking across Öresund straight between Sweden and Denmark

Heading South again after it started getting bumpy. Chicken I know. Falsterbö in the distance
Image

Trelleborg harbour, catch a ferry from there to Germany, Denmark and the baltic states

Yes, we do get sunsets in Sweden! Taken behind the hangars

My F2A, back in the air at last!
