Awesome day. Logged 3.4hrs flying. Almost downed Demon a couple times :oops: :oops: :oops:

LEKKA!. Can't wait to be based out at Harties and do this every flyday. Small little problem of no wings, but am sure by then there will be a gap in toybox :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: for a trikjie.... :wink:

Just finished building another pool in Midrand and was laying the paved surrounds this morning when he flies overhead. Low. Doesn't wave, doesn't shake the wing, doesn't even shout! He just heads off in the direction of Lonehill.
Next time try to stay a little further away from Grand Central's circuit pattern airspace. The big bliks will get you!
Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two

Reduce speed to 50 knots, increase wing surface area to 17 sqm and take overall mass down to 250 Kg – ala the trike flying days ahead of you.

Eish :!: You would’ve got smashed around in a trike. :shock: :shock:
