Wind was huge. Had to go above FL100 to get out of it, but then it was freezing. Between 5.45 and 6.30pm I was only guy on radio under TMA tonight... Eerie. I thought radio she was broken...

Anyone venture out in the wind today.

Yea she is almost ready, Gearbox was making a whineing sound, opened it and found the gears to be horribly worn. Oil Has never been changed in it's life i suppose

Gearbox not serviceable. Must replace gears. I have sourced a set of gears just gotto collect and i am still waiting for a B Box Gasket from Aviation engines then i can reassemble and get her to crosswinds hopefully this weekend.

Hi all
Does this "Friday is Flyday" thing still apply?
Would it be a good opportunity to try out microlighting as a passenger?
Please let me know as I'm keen to give it a try.....

Rosslyn Micro flyers need some GT 450 demos, can one of the GT 450 owners help us sometime?

The whole friggin squadron passed overhead me at about 16h10 this afternoon. So low I felt I could reach out and touch them.

I trust you got my message on your mobile, Mr One-eyed-Bandit

Demon, sorry that we missed you on Sunday. The Kroon chaps are late starters in the afternoon. To much nice stuff to do at home Sunday afternoons.

We will keep a lookout for you.

Not so long then we will have a GT 450 at Kroon, it is already packed and off to the coast.

Friday is Flyday

Thanks

Keen to try this as a passenger first
