Sunday morning however, was great!!

Good to see you lads out there at the Circus

I did a x country yesterday am - left Panorama, headed for Klipriver, touch and go, and then routed for Tedderfield. Joined overhead, and then departed back east to Panorama..

Weather was wonderful, but then I had to come back in the afternoon for some rock and roll, approx 5.00pm... it were not very pretty - did two circuits and came back down :shock:

Heya,

Today was an awesome day...not only did I freeze my nuts off going to the aifield coz I went with my bike this morning..but found out how cold it is at Klipriver..like someone turned off the heater when you come in for landing :mrgreen:

It was a beautiful morning for flying,I feel a bit better with the stalls,still scary though,touch and go landings at Klip is cold..really cold,flew formation with Dewalt..shweet..lol..was fun,enjoyed the radio chatter,got confused at times..but I guess with time it will get better vhpy ..

I think the moment for me was landing at Henley and running out of runway..lol..Porra screams break and I scream I am breaking..lokl..then I thought I heard Porra scream "full throttle" and for a second thought WHAT but nevertheless still klapped the juice and then I heard a scream "foot off the throttle"...Like the piece in the Leon Schuster movie..."wo,ekse wo...ek het gese f*kken wo".. ## We ended up making a U-turn in the bush.. :lol:

Thank you Porra for an awesome lesson and thanx for an awesome day guys,it was my first time at an RC Airshow and I really enjoyed it.

Blue Skies to the skydivers..beautiful landings...

(^^)

Hey LSO, Yip, been flying quite a lot, done about 100 hours in the last year or so, since getting my license. Just a bit slow at the moment with weather and knee op. Should be in the air this weekend, wx depending.
