As an afterthought! Where is Wally and where is ZU-AXC is not the same thing.

Recent events have had pilots abondoning their craft. In the end it is about locating the pilot, not his craft! Make it a wearable accessory!

I will have mine in my flight suit pocket as long as it fits!

Very keen to try this out and help out with further dev and ideas. Let me know if I can be of any assistance as tester, hoster or any other form of assistance.

Yours in flight

Hello Darkness my old friend... Nemo said right up front that the must-have Wally is about the same size & weight as a packet of ciggies.
So you simply chuck the "after action satisfaction" wheezemakers out of your flight suit pocket and make way for Wally. 8) :D

Please leave me a message at 082 373 4947 or at alanmack@iafrica.com with your home address and a convenient time and I will drop off my demo unit with you to test. I'm grounded whilst my wing & prop are being fixed.

Very very clever. Now ground control can monitor me, and I can monitor the kids.

Wally

Postby alanmack » Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:02 am

Wally is out there - hiding in the gauteng crowd!

Nemo is in the sea - who knows where?

Smiths' are so plentiful that when you have one in your pocket it may be the wrong one!

Scribes are so scarce - it may take a Wally to find one?

I understood the deadline to be month end?

Deadlines are deadly stealthmasters, they have a nasty way of sneaking up on us :roll: :wink:

Wally is with, extremely small and VERY easy to forget!

I fetched AXC on Friday morning and flew Petit - Aero57 - FAAP - Wally was still in bed sleeping at home in Fourways.

Then planned to go dam busting Friday afternoon but work called me in as I was about to leave for the hangar.

I need to make wally part of the pre-flight check if it is going to be any success.

Alan - I will chat to you soon about some more ideas.

I have been wallowing in work and only now had the time to haul wally out and start playing with his interface.

A car charge is a must have, I will be making one up when I get back from weekend planning dinner with Big D.

Wally will be out and about Saturday morning - The plan is to fly Aviators - Aeroden - Then some field hopping east of Harties then over to Kroon for the events there - Wally will be in my chest pocket...

Sunday some dam busting to the north and maybe a touch and go or two at Sun City!

Will keep you posted!

If you would like to test it - I will lend it to you in return for your thoughts.

Fly safe
