Thanx RV- yep the Stinson has gone to Rand- I still have my Jantar- I want to keep it till after the berg Wave camp in august-

I am a bit scared of the size of the Nimbus and dont want to fly it in the berg untill i have made friends with it- Converting on single seat planes is
a bit of a mind blow- my glider Guru peter Hengst is flying it from orient to brits for me on saterday- When he is happy I will fly it- Its going to be nice not to need a tug plane anymore- .
Flying flying flying-- and a bit of gliding

Hallo All,
I'am flying from Panorama - Gauteng. I wish that the clouds over our hangers (as per Google Earth) can disappear, so that U all can see that we are not hiding anything except lotta smiles. I have trained on my Raptor 912ULS, and can report that I've managed to get my licence on it too.....not that easy 4 an old dog...... Poor Mike Cathro...Regards Hannes.........

Started flying trikes :D, did my MPL with Sue Singleton many years ago :shock:
Love trikes but had to unfortunately upgrade to three axis due to health reasons.
Then got the Jora. Wow !! what a plane ! The Czechs sure know their stuff. And it's priced right too...
I'd never thought I'd say this - but this is better than a trike ! And I can take the doors off. 40 to over 110mph with a 582 - and at 110 the engine is barely warming up (Vne prevents you from going faster). Brilliant. 5 liters/hour at 70mph. And it has lots of room inside. And it flies incredibly well. This is it !
