Yes, keep us posted but I will be at Rhino early Saturday morning anyway, have to change a wheel and then do a bit of flying but will be on the ground no later than 10.

Thanks for sorting this out. I was one to recommend the challenger to Dish and not knowing other Challenger instructors in Jozy reccomended P........ With all the runarounds Dish has been having he was seriously loosing confidence in his aircraft, which is a great aerie.

Get the guy in the air soon and let him start having fun

PS wish I was there to join you guys.

Guys

Im still here

No - Seriously in my opinion, its all been a journey, lessons learnt and more lessons to learn... The frustration was / is building in a big way to the point that Rudix and I had a serious conversation about new ownership.. I was starting to believe that it might not have been the plane for me...

BUT the lads have been fantastic and i must say the 12 odd hours that I have I have enjoyed thoroughly - I was expecting (In June) to have had my license and a few hours by now and thats also part of the frustration...

there is no hurry though.... i would rather fly safely and correctly that take short cuts.... just need to reinstate the confidence in that belt @!!!

You will be flying soon, I know it is a great aircraft and that is why I think you should persist.

We will keep a close eye on that belt

Soon we will be exploring our stunning country together, just looking at a map makes me want to rush to the field, we must discuss some destinations on Saturday, will bring some maps.....
