Hi All

Can the electric pump not be left on permanently during flight?

Sitting on the beach in Kenya browsing the forum on my cell phone. Ice cold tusker malt just arrived. Eish just another k...k day in paradise.

Anybody Know of trike/ultralight flyers in Kenya? I know of two and I should be up in the air in a few months.

Luckily I will be flying "underground" here in Kenya. To register a trike and be legal you need a PPL. The Kenyan CAA do not recognize trikes let alone know what they are. There are a few here including an Aquilla and they all fly underground. I fly at high altitude and my only concern is safety for...

Anyone care to comment on the Gryps 14 wing found on the Polaris Skin.

A well written article. This is actually the story of Africa. The bottom line is "they" dont want us anywhere in Africa. I see it here everyday in Kenya and Uganda. South Africa is no exception.

Count me in as well. It will have to be posted to Kenya though.

Correction. What I meant to refer to was video cameras.

The only thing I know about cameras and trikes is that one should not use a camera that stores data on a hard drive. It simply does not handle the vibrations. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Hello there I am also curious to now about this. Here in Kenya trikes are not recognized by KCAA and as far as I know they are not required to be registered. There are less than 10 trikes that I know of and they all fly "illegally", taking off from private airstrips and staying well clear of restric...

Thanks Andre. I have actually been browzing the forum for quite some time now albeit in the background. I have learnt so much and I think I must have read just about every post here. And guess what: I am stuck in Uganda again, probably until Thursday next week. Nic is busy doing some research on get...

Hi All

My name is Glenn. I hail from Cape Town but currently live and work in Kenya. Been here almost 2 years now. I am also busy making arrangements to get my trike up here within the next 2 months or so.

I am trying to make achoice as to what make of trike to purchase. I think the choice is between an Aquilla II and the Raptor. Both must have the Rotax 582. I will be flying in Nairobi Kenya where the ground height above sea level is between 5500 to 6000 feet. I would be landing mostly on bush airstr...
