Well, she couldn't stop smiling after she got out. She was in the back seat. She may join us for the theory class this week already

Great, hope to see you all at flo's tom

Went flying this morning, sometime around 08h30. It was a bit choppy, until we reached altitude, but it was great, we even passed over a couple of clouds , that was nice. There was also a lot of other traffic in the air, so I got a chance to practise my "plane spotting" ability.

Next flight we are going to start with circuits, now the real work starts, can't wait.

Hi Tracer, still smiling from this mornings flight, was amazing. Did low flying over the runway, not as easy, but loved every second of it.

[Tracer]

Nacho, I guess that the smiling thing will happen after every flight.. , which is a good thing.

Welcome to forum Nacho - Love your avatar

Tracer, sounds liek you are having fun, yip I echo Diesel's sentiments that QNH at highveld of 1012 spells bad news.

I got a video of me taking off at oom Flo's place once, weather not lekker, tailwind, very hot, and i am heavy so call it 2up - Gemini only got airborne where the nice grass at aero 57 stops and the brown stuff begins next to trees - I got a lovely vid of the N14 VERY CLOSE, you can almost see the expression on a taxi driver's face saying "Eish wena"

Thanks Big D, glad you like my pic. At least there is someone out there that appreciate a work of art when they see it, it takes a lot of hard work to look like that

[Tracer]

Yip Bid D, I am enjoying it a lot. Taking a chance with the take-off there will be dangerous. I don't think that the traffic on the N14 will give you a gap to join them by hooking a left turn there.

Today we went out and I got my first feel for flying circuits. It was cool, learned to do a precautionary landing as well.

So I did my first pacth flying today

So today my handbrake registered on Microlighters, her nick is Blonde Heksie . I made her promise to leave the broom at home when we go to the airfield though

Tracer,

I don't want to warn to about this, but it is something you need to know man. "It all started with aa dream!!". You have heard this before. Well, this also applies for your handbrake. Just remember that certain brooms can be very expensive. And some have the urgency to do conversions very quick to something "faster". But the problem really starts when they start learning the skill to your mother in law. And then when she starts flying faster than you, oh boy, then your "K&K is geboek ne".

Talk to us if you have a problem, but the best advise I can give on this "problem", is to fly as regular as you can. That is the only place where you will experience the freedom you want. And although they will be on your tail watching your every move, you won't mind it being in your aerie.

Safe flying.

At least I know my MIL is scared of heights, so she stays on the ground

Have not heard a peep out of "Liewe Heksie" yet ...

Demon, I guess I will have to be nice and call her a softness and not a handbrake from now on, just now my flying time gets limited

Young gun, I'll get her to greet the forum and introduce herself.....

[Tracer]

So after more than two weeks, I got to fly again this morning. It was great.

Did patch flying with touch and go's. Awesome..
