Hi all, I am new to the forum - started my training two weeks ago after YEARS of wishing and contemplating.(Microland) 3 hours training logged - this morning with Fanie to Bronkies dam and back was GREAT - but I have to thank Mervyn for his patience on my initial lack of keeping "Black Beauty" straight and level - thx Mervyn your training paid of a bit today, you are a great instructor! ( However I am still humble about my abilities to use the throttle in a proper way..) vhpy

Yo Jimbo, wishing you many happy safe hours. I'm also training at Wintervogel. 13 hours and about to go solo. Thereafter I'll be needing an anchor to keep me down.
All the best mate.
