Well guys, to those of you flying in to FAKT on Sat.... Enjoy and be safe, in theory the FABA squadron should be one of the first to arrive being only 8NM away

Weather report predicts light NW winds with high Overcast....touch wood we can have a good turnout. http://www.windreport.co.za/wg_pretoria.php

I'll see you buggers at the AGM

I'm trying to ignore the massive rain cloud hanging over my office and show some faith in the weathermen who say this will all be gone by morning
Anyone who wants to join me for a first-light take off to Kitty tomorrow, I'll see you at the holding point

[Bundy]

Well I've had a few Zamelec's so no chance of a PM flight today, but I'm off to ML tomorrow morning to see if I can get some airtime. Weather looks ok for early morn? Hope to see a few of you stragglers there.


BIG THANK YOU to Swaanie for giving me my first taste of a GYRO

I'll stop mocking them now....they are supercool

[Bundy]

I only like mist when I'm fishing...not when I wanna go fly. Waited around for an hour or so and it lifted off the deck at least...took up another first timer today but we were bound to the circuit as the cloudbase was too low for a sortie. Some nice cross wind landing practice.

Please excuse the daft look on my face...I did not know I was in the shot

Well done Samantha Shaw, you are the 9th "first timer" to sit in The Beautiful Dawn.

Thanks for the loan of your suit Fiezel...(Stef and I really need to make a plan for another one) it is in our cupboard, will ask Stef to give it to you on Sat when he see's you!

All Microlanders....please remember the Monthly Braai...Saturday, 20th October. Bring what you want to braai and your drinks. I will provide the heat and some salad.

All Microlanders....Just a freindly reminder.....remember the Monthly Braai...Saturday, 20th October.

Please spread the word..See you guys there

Thanks Feizel for the cameradery this morning flying to Rhino Park. Your water temps are 100% man.

Checked out the new MGL fuel flow sensor. My 582 (this morning) used 24.8 l/h at full throttle @ 6440 rpm and in a level cruize, solo, @ 4800 rpm she uses 10.5 l/h. Stationary and Ideling on the ground 7.8 l/h. Ideling while flying i.e. decending with the bar neutral, 2.7 l/h. It is amazing how the speed of the air flow on the prop can change the fuel consumption? I just used MGL's standard calibration settings for this sensor. I will still fine tune the settings but they don't look too far off. Rotax gives 27 l/h at full throttle @ max rpm i.e. 6800 rpm.

Safe Flying

See you at the Braai this Saturday

Hi guys,

Please go see the thread Alan Mac started IRO the Aeroclub AGM next Wed evening.

viewforum.php?f=1

Microland makes up about 5% on Misasa's total membership...so...who will go with me to the AGM to make ourselves heard?
It's time to make the AeCSA understand that we will not be ignored. I know nobody like politics, but it is vitally important that Misasa gets the recognition it deserves, and the service it is due.

Please make the effort boyz.

Thanks for the flip Paul. It always nice to have another pair of eyes when flying. Friday morning??

Yip, see you there Alan.

Can I join you guys? The weather looks lekker for Friday but no so much for Sat. I guess we'll start the braai early

[Bundy]

Paul... I spoke to Peter Grant (no not the WP Flyhalf...but he could easily be a lockforward ) and told him about the braai, hopefully he will be there too. He is hangered with Peter Coskey in the Western corner of the field.

Fiezel...please remind Stef to give you the fight suit, and thanks again!

We really need to get a sign up on the gate as well as at the School office So the guys not frequenting the forum are aware of these get togethers.

Conrad...Paul de Kok...Herman....Nick....Noel???

Gaan julle bietjie bywoon Saterdag?

Enjoy guys, I'll be at the next one.
