Thanks Oom Polla. Well done Henk, on the line, what a pilot.

When you get yours, please give it to me.

Agree with Justin & Nico. Also, a 2 stroke has a very low compression ratio, effective 6:1. So no knocking possible with even less than 93 octane. Buy 93 unleaded/metal free from a branded, reputable garage and you will have no problems.

Alan's "Bundy" skills test & NPL licence renewed this morning. Well done Alan s023 s023 About the Nav comp, great idea. Just touch base with Mervyn (MISASA Competition co-ordinator) for guidance on how to do a Nav competition. (^^) Even the simplest one, requires a GPS tracker per aircraft, to log t...

Guys, please let Oom Polla know if you are coming so that he can include you in his preparations. You can reply here, or send him a WhatsApp, or SMS (082 55 nine, sex, double 1, 5)

Very important to have a horizontal wing in anything more than 10 knt winds. Keep the A frame semi rigid, by using 10mm bungy cords. Above 20 knots take the wing off and collapse the A frame, tying the wing flat on the ground, facing into the wind. If not possible pack wind blocking obstacles behind...

Shoe Jacques, gives a new meaning to in-flight hang point adjustment. The trikes performance must have been a continuous surprise. Very glad you found the cause before it was too late.

A more thorough pre-flight must be called for.

I see, the local web site no longer exists.

The next fly and braai is on the 20 th Feb. See you all there

Noel, if I remember correctly, there is an adjustment required for different radios. Phone Paul. He will know for sure.

Great turn out. Thanks to all who brought food and drink and fire making stuff. Microland gees is as always strong and vibrant. And we met Mervyns better half. Some of us only left after dark...such fun.

George Killey, in his prototype motorized hang glider. Feb 1981. Think he used a Tornado hang glider wing and, of course the Sachs engine

Love it , the spirit we are trying so hard to keep puff Just love it as well, Sue. xxx Aviation is great and the people are great too. We have come such a long way since then. For one thing, there are now many very competent instructors, like yourself. Also, for safety reasons, much more regulated....

Extracts from the POH. Very comprehensive book with more than 200 pages. Containes detailed rigging & de-rigging instructions, pre-flight instructions and then of course, flight instructions, broken up into 16 lessons. In preparation, I received the book a month or two before collecting my MFledge. ...

No cant find it.

Collecting my MFledge in Pinetown. February 1981. Flight instructions, now when she picks up speed and becomes light, just ease backwards in the seat slightly and when she lifts, slightly forward again....Scared shitless...
