Moving to the sandpit at the end of the month (Abu Dhabi) so won't get a chance to fly in her for a while but will be back hopefully in a couple months time for a a few flick flacks and by that time Larry will have managed to learn how to do those

And close up - Well done Larry

Fly past

And the intrepid builders watch with bated breath as it zooms past
Jack, Ralph, Larry and Sharon

Did not want to spoil Larry's thunder but herewith some photos

Airborne at last!

Just a seriously hollow feeling in the gut looking at those photos. Really feel for you. So sorry to see your planes in this state. Words cannot say what the feeling is. So sorry

Well done Ian. Very frustrating though as I cannot see any photo's. Can anyone tell me how to change this? Flipping computers

Hi Andre

Thanks for the post. I will contact them. For further interest here is a photo of the plane. Cruise about 60-65 mph and VNE 95 mph. Rotax 503

Does anybody have experience or know of anybody flying a single seater Sorrel hiperlite biplane. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Demon Nope definitely not a Bantam, seems like the guy knows the area the way he flew down the gorge in misty conditions heading towards Hoedspruit. Just wondered if I could rope him in to fly surveys for us when in the area again if he is local. The plane looked like a Kitfox. High wing two seat...

Hey Smiley Had serious withdrawal symptoms watching you guys go past. The last guy was fairly low flying along the Ohrigstad/ Hoedspruit road on the Ohrigstad side of the tunnel. Did you land at Hoedspruit? Can see the photos now :oops: Just had to give them time to load. Anybody know who the red ae...

Hi All Thanks for the detailed news Demon but I cannot see the photos??? I was sitting along the Blyde Canyon on Thursday morning doing a raptor survey when some oke came tootling along in a little red aerie. Looked like a Kitfox and sounded like a 4 stroke Rotax up front. The plane had white stripe...

Very nice. Are those wheels not a bit small? Its difficult to see in the photo.

Thanks again for the DVD and the manual :D Although the DVD is very nice to watch my wife gets a bit awkward with me when I work on my engine on the lounge floor. With the hard copy I can now take it out to the garage.

Hi Leprachaun

Thanks for the offer. I was a sent a copy by Alex Rudd which I found very useful. Our terrain here is difficult although there are places to fly that are safer to land in but those are not usually the places I like to fly over as I am involved in wildlife This is the reason I fly.
