Re: Anyone flying 582 Aquilla with Topless Wing?

It is true what Asterix said about his Aquilla II wing being faster than my topless - no doubt about that. I fly most of the time in groups with mostly Aquillas and my topless is same speed. Guess you can speed it up if you want to. I've not found the need for that yet. Try the different wings and r...

Re: My goodbye to Microland: 19 May 2012

So me will miss your last flight as Microlander. At least our friendship started from that same hanger almost 3 years ago - I was supposed to be your pax to Numbi. And that day I started to learn one of many lessons from you. No pressure - if you do not feel comfortable - stay home. I'll be back fro...

Re: It is official: Asterix is moving to Polokwane

Hi Asterix, Your redeployment in Polokwane will leave a sure dent in our mids. At least we will still be able to chat on here and . You should consider getting the parts required by Bundy for his re-build from the "sleeping beauties" at Microland. As per one of your previous posts. Seeing that you a...

Re: Wing Tips on a trike - faster??

Asterix, You should ask Skin about the benefits. He said he gained about 5mph after fitting the tips. Also more lift so shorter take-off and lower fuel consumption due to greater lift in flight - thus reduced throttle required for Straight and Level. The wing tip vortices creating drag will be reduc...

Re: Proposed "sticky": MET ACADEMY

Asterix,

You really return with a bang and with a very good suggestion - hope the moderators will take heed of this request.

We can learn a great deal from other experiences.

Re: Asterix is back. (If all would have me.)

Hi Asterix
Glad you're back - is that why the name is now Asterix B (Back)?
Will read all the stories - even the rants and raves.
Let them roll...

I agree - Low Flying Kills!
