The pic is of a Jantar- Not my one- The Reg is ZS- GTI -- cool reg.
:lol: Yep that trailer is 9 m long a pain to move around Joburg with sorting out road worthies etc :cry:

Now if I could just fly it myself-- If any of you guys would like to try a glider flight our club at brits takes peaple for flips evry saterday
Costs about R130 bucks depending on how long you stay up
try it you may get hooked :lol: :lol: :lol:

Stop bragging...the ladies aren't impressed.... :D :wink:
talking of bragging FAWG, what do you fly and where is FAWG :?: :?:
Sorry, MTC....I somehow missed your request.....okay, below is a recent picture of my hanger and toys.....out at FAWG....

Image

The Aquilla in the background, I sold recently to a Gauteng chap who collected it 10 days ago....as I was not flying it (long story, but has something to do with my hanger door height that I sized wrong :oops: and taking the wing on and off was just too much PT...)..I have done some 450 hours in trikes, though....

The RV4 is my adrenalin toy - loads of power and performance with a 180HP motor....

The Jabiru J400 I bought fairly recently (8 weeks ago) and have had loads of fun taking my family to Virginia for the airshow as well as to PE and Cape St Francis this past week-end....

The Vixen is in the microlight category and is up for sale as I feel that the J400 covers the utility need for the Vixen, but I do love the plane...It flies so well and is an absolute pleasure....I'm considering withdrawing it from the market and just keeping it.....

So if you haven't guessed it by now, you will realise that I am passionate about aviation.....like so many other good folk out there.....

You asked where FAWG is....It's What's landing...a residential sky park close to East London.....check it out.... http://www.electrodynamics.co.za/aviation/whats.htm

The microlight field (Kwalega) is within 2nm of What's Landing...so we mix it up with lot's of varied traffic....(There are 12 weight shift trikes at Kwalega and at What's Landing we have a Beech Bonanza, Heli R44, Piper Lance, Piper j3 cub, Tiger Moth, Chipmunk, Vixen, Jabiru J400, Jabiru J450, RV4 and an RV7 will be joining us soon...) From Heli to fixed wing to weight shift, we all get along great......
