We have had enquiries regarding fuel - we have AVGAS on the field. If anybody specifically needs MOGAS, we will arrange, but you need to confirm with me personally.

Re: Aerobatic Extravaganza - Klerksdorp
Last night the Committee decided that we will sponsor a beer and braaipack to each aeroplane that confirms his attendance to the event beforehand. Obviously we cannot sponsor all 1000 aircraft (modest estimate) we expect, so this offer stands for the first 50. This excludes the actual aeries partici...

Re: Buzzcom Systems
Larry's system is home grown, very robust and I am very satisfied with it. Larry had to sacrifice a lot when he went to the world Champs in the Czech Republic last year - at the same time his brother resigned from Buzzcom and Kenneth (who was the technician at the time) had to and still runs the for...

Re: Aerobatic Extravaganza - Klerksdorp
Larry, I got the impression all the instruction etc is for free as they want to attract new blood into the sport. I you do not have your own aeri, I suppose you'll have to pay somebody to borrow his. I suggest you contact the sport aerobatic guys direct. All the grub and a lot of beer is free for pi...
