Re: Honest pilots

As i said before we are TOTALLY self funded. Someone must pay to keep the airfield in a good condition. This obviously costs. I don't make have the say of what landing fees are.

Re: Radio Licence

In my expriance you learn very little on how to use a radio practicall during your radio course. i agree the best is to fly with your mates and let them help out on the radio if you get stuck. the radio cd is a very big help.

Flying in Zimbabwe

Does anyone know if a licence is required to fly a microlight in Zimbabwe? I have been told that you don't need a licence to fly there. This seems strange but anything can happen in an African country.
