Digital Instruments Wanted- Sorted Thanks

My MGL Stratomaster Flight packed up a week or so ago and due to its age is no longer repairable. The processor packed up and is unobtainable.

I am therefore interested in a similar unit, MGL Stratomaster series or one of the SkyDat series.

Please call me on zero ate 1 for too 7 double ate too sex.

Re: Aquilla 582 Cold start problems

You can replace the outer race (outer R4000. inner R4000), or just give the prop a manual spin before cranking ...

Re: THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"

Nice pics Alan. Was a bit exhausted this morning after setting up our new Penta caravan for a trip down to .....NO not Kruger....Cape Vidal this time, want to get to the sea for a change. The Cosmos to the South of Delmas looks quite good this year. Will be flying that way during the week some time....

Re: Waterkloof & Zwartkop Fly-in 12 May 2012

Yes that was fantastic. (^^)

Mcfly, tied to organize another mass LSA fly by at the air show in 2014, we even submitted our flight clearance requests, but alas, on the day before our request to use Waterkloof was turned down. It was the year of the Gupta wedding guests landing at Waterkloof. ##

Re: THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"

Thanks to all for another great braai. A special thanks to those that brought food and for the generous donation to Johannes for all his help. Some of us only left after 5. Microland and Skyriders Flight Scool, arguably, must be the busiest and most active LSA flight scool in SA. We now have 3 instr...

Re: First passenger

You will know when you, and the weather conditions are right. And, without trying to be funny, it depends on who the passenger is. A fellow pilot is the best passenger. On the other side of the coin, I would not be comfortable taking up my children soon after getting my licence. As a rule I do not l...
