Re: This is a good (free) book

(Mind you, before I paid for an aircraft, I'd need to pop past Rand and drop off a cheque to get a school to send me a licence first (!!) )

Re: This is a good (free) book

I like the look of the ZU types with real wings hehe- Bushbaby, Savannah, that kind of thing. (And a front wheel....) Reading Boet's and Oupa-G's build stories makes me green, not that I'd want to try to build anything. I'd like to take my Lotto winings to someone like KFA, and say "Here's a cheque,...

Why are aircraft left-hand-drive?

All the k@k in Samoa with changing from one side of the road to the other, made me wonder how it is that aircraft are all left-hand-drive. Anyone know? Did it just turn out that way, or did the authorities from all over the world get together and discuss it, or did one nation's industry power prevai...

Re: TRAINING IN HEIDELBERG

I was looking at Safta's website recently- I'm intrigued by their premises. What is it?- an old boarding school, old SADF base or what?

This is a good (free) book

Morning all, I don't fly for real but I do a lot of flying from books! One day when I win the Lotto, we'll see.... Meantime I was browsing the 'net yesterday and came across a book by a guy called John Denker (no, not Denver of "Country roads" fame), imaginatively named "See how it flies". As well a...

Re: Cost of spares up a gazillion percent

I wonder if they'd lop off the R1.07 if you didn't have the right change handy?

Checks date- nope, not April 1st. This is for real right? Two million bucks for a gearbox? That's almost an MP's car allowance (!!)
