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??

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!
