I have flown 200+ hours during 2005-2007 in Moz with my trike. Beautiful place but full of red tape. You will aslo get flight clearance for only 14 days max if you are lucky. There is no such thing as a private unregistered strip in Moz. All airfields must be licensed so be carefull to think you will take off from Piet Spanner's farm road. In those days I landed on the beach in front of a friends lodge and bought a fishing permit to be able to use the beach. They did catch me on the beach one day so don't think they are not looking. The police are also quite clued up on the paperwork and permissions that you need. I only got away because they could not argue the fishing permit story :wink: :wink:
