THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"

[Bundy]

Nice one guys!

Definately missed out on this one ....but I had a problem called Jagermeister

Nice to see the guys from all over meeting up for some fun in the sky.

Post some trip details Fiz? Distance, time , fuel used etc.

Glad you guys had a jol

[BeanCounter]

I had the total flight time at 3 hours 13 min including 3 outlandings at Klip, Vereeniging and Deneysville. Basic trip for Fiz and me was FABA-Petit-FASI-Ergo-land Klip-land Vereeniging-follow da river to the damwall-land Deneysville-back home direct via Klip-Ergo-FASI etc. If I remember correctly the computer said I burned 44 litres with 2-up but I can't remember exactly.

To the Chain Gang, thanks for having us and apologies for my quick departure after Deneysville. I suspected we would have a bumpy trip back and Slap Chips or not, I've got serious tennis elbow this morning after that work-out Wat is dit met die stuk tussen Springs-Petit?
But the next time you need someone to find the Deneysville runway for you I'll be happy to oblige

We should meet up again soon!

[KlapperKnop]

Al,

I flew 3hr 02 and burned 40 litres, which makes my aerie about 13.3l/hr and that is with constant bar in!!!

[Madman]

Yeah Jaco,you guys missed out on some lekker coffee and interesting landings at Circus

We still stayed and had a chat with Steve at Circus,thank you Steve for the nice cuppa since the Tent was closed

Slap chips..relax on the bar,I was so relaxed that the bar escaped me while I was changing freq..my pax and student Pilot Jacques caught a fright and tried to catch it I told him to relax,I left the bar and showed him..check..it still flies with out my help

We got back after 11am,it was a thermalicious roller coaster ride all the way home..most interesting thing going home was seeing alot of white butterflies as high as 7000ft amsl

Haha,as for that Springs area..I too would like to know what happens there as well,it is always very bumpy...something about the converging winds

Alpha can explain,Gary..please assist

Thanx for the ground support..haha,we would have still been looking for the airfield

As for fuel...2 up I used a total of 40l with my Aquilla 503,total flying time was 3hrs35min

Steve Bosch has invited us to his spot again this Sat....unfortunately I will be working it seems

Anyone else keen to go?

[KlapperKnop]

Al, when will Paul be back? Satrudays WX forecast does not look very favourbale for flying; maybe go Sunday?

[Bateleur]

I seriously need to get some flying time in! Thinking of flying a bit tomorrow morning. I will be open for flying to Steve’s place as well over the weekend.

[KlapperKnop]

Both Saterday and Sunday looks bad WX .... maybe not so good to visit Steve

[KlapperKnop]

Where is Steve?

Byron, from what I understand Steve's spot is in the vicinity of Roodeplaats DAM.

BTW, are you into cycling? There use to be a BTB on thehubsa, but then that forum went bellyup!

[bobthebuilder]

Not into cycling no, I chose btb because Byron was already taken.
