I am really enjoying this aeroplane. Flown numerous young eagles in it. The wonder in their eyes, and the smile after we landed being a huge reward. This aerie is nice for picture taking, with the door open, fly by itself, and I can take my pics!!

Jaaaaa swaer. Ons hoop dit hou! Ek is al 27 jaar getroud. Dis nog steeds partykeer lekker om n maat te he. Geniet maar die jeug en die jonkheid, want dis uiteindelik ook maar net nietigheid. IE: Enjoy what Mother nature gave you both, because Father Time is a vicious `ol bastard!!

I have my Fat tekkies now, but our local airfield is a clay pit. No flying for a while, but at least we can expect some blommetjies this year. I measured 30 mm of rain for today and it has just started raining again.

I have started a slight aerodynamic clean-up of the Explorer. Spats and smaller wheels have upped the cruise to 93mph @ 5800rpm. Cowling is next, when time and $$$$$ available. vhpy
