Will be bringing new balaclavas for the Condor helmet.

Hi Paul
How about a sort of Pricelist of the things you plan to bring (complete with pictures) and maybe you can get advance orders?

[quote="Air Hog"]We are going to make this an Open day at Kroon. See if we can draw some new blood into Microlights. So it's going to be an all day story.

Thanks for this. I will be there. I am a ppl and want to move to ML's. Almost bought a trike at Kroon the other day if it was not for the owners cell that was off and he sold it to someone else :? , but maybe I must go the 3 axis route :?:, not sure yet. Thinking to do conversions on LS, weightshift etc and then make a decicion..

Confusion ! Easyplan says 125.8 as under TMA. What is it ?

If you look at the map, we are just South of the N4 which is the boundry for SRW 125.8 but because our circuit (where majority of our flying is done) is North of the N4 (In 124.8 ) we are using 124.8

Another thing, you can watch our weather while you are still in bed before you drive out to the Airfield and see what the conditions at Kroon are.
