Awesome Saturday!

Morning

Just wanted to say thanx to Ian for the awesome Flip in his Savannah,really a super funtastic aerie and a really fun to fly with pilot..only pilot I know that wheelies a plane..yip,kept the front wheel up when we landed at Aeroden..to save the front tyre

Nice place Aeroden,thank you Oom Basie and wife(bad with names,I do apologise)...I was really nice having a coffee with a stunning view of the Magalies..will be sure to fly there often

Also thanx to Trevor once again for helping me put my prop back after the beautiful work Oom Piet done,what would we do without these really talented people..it is from them we learn

The start of the day was crappy though,got to the airfield,opened the hangar and found my bird on a limp..right tyre was flat

So I think an saw the sad dissapointed took in my eye and offered a flip in his aerie.. More like I hinted...thanx again Ian

Conrad followed in his Savannah,when I am big,I want to get me one

When we got back,we had coffee..I quickly took the tyre off and rushed to Yamaha and got the tube replaced..was back at the airfield with my bro in law,put the wheel back and WRJ was ready to fly again...yeeehaaa

It was my bro in laws first time,so after preflight, I briefed him and then strapped him...so I primed the engine like always to get it lubricated..got in and told him that I am going to let rip this here cord to get the engine going,so lean right...so since I primed,the master is on,fuel pump is on,choke on,I flicked the mags on and gave a good pull as always..but this time my left elbow was stopped my bro in laws face...ouch.. He wanted to see what I was doing...lucky he had on the huge gogs,so he felt nothing

We did an awesome 2 hours that afternoon...so lekka,he really enjoyed it..check out the couple of the pics...

Flkipping hope so boet, over an above the ice cold beers (afterwards) is such a stunning environment in which to fly. Stones throw from Roodekoppies and Vaal koppies, hartees, buffelspoort etc.. BIG D and i often do the dam busting circuit in the arly morning - awesome... I have become VERY partial to the late afternoon flips, the last two hours or so before sundown - put plane away and SINK an icy amstel - book a room with Linda, have a lekker braai, early night and early sunday flight - home by twelve on a sunday which is awesome.....

Now that is talking Dish..

When we did our flip there,Ian said the same thing,we should arrange a flyaway there,have a lekka braai,dop,sleep over and do an early morning flip before heading home..I am keen

Do you guys fly every Sat I too normally fly in the mornings,I flew in the afternoon as my brother in law had to work the morning...what Iike about the afternoon flying is that you start off in the ruff and it just gets smooth

It would be awesome if we could load a video like you can on facebook...not using Youtube..many people are blocked from accessing Youtube.

Madman post your vids on www.freetoadventure.com

Mods why can’t we load videos directly onto microlighters like they do on avcom

[Madman]

I will be sure to book a room...

Yeah,it would be awesome if we could just load the videos direct...perhaps have a section called Video Vault where all the members can upload and watch videos...without having to sign up for Youtude or anything else...
