I certainly hope my arm will be strong enough to take part in this comp in my new trike. Hold thumbs.
I take it one needs to be a paid up member of MISASA to enter??

[JCH]

Nkwasi, at least almost 2 months before the event so hope your arm recovers 100%

You are correct that you need to be a paid up member of MISASA.

Regarding the 3rd party insurance cover of R 500,000 requirement in the competition rules;
Should you be a member of Aero Club, you can make use of their reduced rate cover done throught Dennis Jankelow & Associates

[Nkwazi]

If I can't compete, I'll certainly volunteer as an official

[Marc G]

I'll be there... with some new guys from Panorama! Already booked leave!

Glad to see we have such positive response this far.
Sure the organisers will be very happy.

The whole idea behind this type of competition is to enhance the skills of microlighters.

[Blue Max]

Yes I will be there. I will enter, but I am going to have a operation on my shoulder during January 2010 and I am not sure if it will heal enough to allow me to participate..????????
I hurt my arm, when I tried to lift my quadbike out of some mud. The doctor told me that only an operation can relieve the pain that I now suffer..
Ons sal maar sien. Ek is nie baie "happy" oor alles nie.. (**)

Registration is taking place on Friday night, 5 February.
The intention is to create separate groups consisting of one Master assisting a few new guys, during the registration on the Friday night.

Mervin indicated that he will be able to accommodate participants on the Saturday morning who are not able to attend on the Friday night.

First departures are set for before 7am, so Saturday joiners may have to accept later departure slots.

Any person requiring hanger space during the competition should please PM me or leave a reply so that we can start with the arrangements.
