Understanding the sky
Re: Understanding the sky
One of the best investments you will ever make.
The area of micro meterology is one of the aspects I have always maintained is not given enough attention in the flying sylabus. Speak to hangies or paragliders and they are very nervous of certain micro met aspects like rotor, wind shadows and avoid them like the plague, yet strap a motor onto a wing and we seem to believe the aircraft becomes invincible to these affects.

Ranger don't you think you shoudl get a Book on Parking instead

When you coming to Cape Town again?
Kloot Piloot I don't need a book on how not to make a garden but how NOT to make a quarry.

On a more serious note. It's as a result of the change in weather that i had a prang. I noticed the change but didn't think much of it until it caught me out. Every pilot should have this book or one similar. Thanks for your trouble.

I sometimes get confused............But i'm not sure

Dennis mailed me on Monday to say that he hoped to have it packed and posted by yesterday (Tuesday).
So, hoping to have news soon.

Re: Understanding the sky
I would assume that the shipment is on its way, because the moneys went off my account on the 20th July. So waiting is the game.
In fact, the transaction went of twice and I am now trying to get the duplication back

Re: Understanding the sky
Hi Kloot, as long as these jokers send double the amount of books........the rest should sell quite well?

Re: Understanding the sky
Zim Zulu and Paul, we are sitting very close to 30 orders, but I think there might just be enough for you as well.
Will keep you posted.
Cheers
