Thanks guys I never had this type of response when I went solo in my trike a few years back. This forum makes it all that more worthwhile. I know a couple of you guys thanks ...and for those I don't know,it feels like I know you too, reading other comments that you have submitted. Mooi! thanks to you all.May we all fly safely! :D :D

Hi Scido,
Thats great news. Congrats look forward to seeing you back at Morning Star soon. :D :D :D
Flew to Saldanah yesterday (Sun) but had to turn back due to the fog and strong North westerly. However 92mph ground speed at 2000ft over Delta200 was pretty cool :shock: :shock: :shock:
