Crosswinds Trike Pilots?

Postby Madman » Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:54 pm

Heya s064

Where are all the Crosswinds trike pilots :?:

Since I have been flying there,I only met Willem a.k.a Nacho...there are about 6 trikes in the hangar...two flying..you'll never guess who vhpy the rest gathering dust ##

I fly every weekend...mostly Saturdays,but if I cannot fly Saturday,then I fly Sunday...and I must say,Sunday was awesome...a real taste of winter flying s016

So come people...let's enjoy what we have all worked so hard to achieve.... s079

Hi Madman
There is always action at Kroon. Myself and Big D old flying buddies. Visit www.microflyers.co.za website and check out their forum for what action planned for the Saturdays. We have been to Crosswinds last Saturday to visit Trevor and my T/Bird that he is working on. Hope to see you this Saturday.

Safe flying

Howzit madman, hopefully Darkhelmet and I will be collecting my trike from Jenya at Petit on Saturday, I will thus be flying but it will be the ferry flight home to Aeroden

Maybe we should organize a trip or 2 over holidays coming up - Crater, is cool yip - And Air Hog knows all the nice flying spots that way such as the swamps (!!)

I don't know why you did it Tailspin, your ears were not THAT big before the op, and I felt safe flying with you - If we lost the wing you could flap us down :lol: :lol: :lol:

Joking puff

Hope you recover soon pal

Wow..I can imagine only being able to fly with 20l at a time...at least for now you have a reserve,I was thinking of doing that but thought it would be to heavy...50l + 20l + 25l on the back seat...too much juice ##

Let me know when you flying...I will be there :!:
