Net soos Wit Willempie, maak ek ook maar n plan. Dit raak net al moeiliker. Ek betaal te veel van my petrol geld vir F^%#@all.

Hou eerder op met alcohol drink en sigarette rook......... ....... dan het jy skielik baie geld om "uit te vlieg"

[Bundy]

Give up Rum??? Nou is jy heeltemaal gerook...

JeanTree...I'd far prefer giving up paying TAX to thieves!

[Jean Crous]

If I have to give up Brandy, I won't be able to fly It is scary enough with me as a pilot and now you want me sober? I need lots of liquid courage to fly that samoosa

[Jean Crous]

Pietmeyer ...... dan is jy dubbel sonder brieke.......Brandewyn het nie brieke nie .....EN ....n trike kan nie "briek" in die lug nie.

[Grumpy]

It's getting really tough. But I seem to find a way.
Dops Tjops an fly. All good.

I was shocked to learn that two brushes for a starter motor is a R1000-00. Yes that's correct no typos there.

Nacho, my sentiments exactly. We are being ripped off. I did some searching as to what other parts dealers in the world are charging for the parts you are looking for. The brush you are refering to, part number - 264-180, costs between $44 & $48. At California Power Systems (CPS) for instance it costs $46.98. With our cr@py rand that means R493.29 (@$1 = R10.50), each and that is without shipping or taxes. How can that be justified

I sent you a pm.

I suppose that my comment regarding suppliers of services and products would hold some truth with this thread. Money...money ....money, with no honest customer centric focus.

I'm a young person who is still in school but I really love flying and like the idea of an open cockpit because you're truly in the sky with the wind blowing in your face..
It's a bit disheartening to see that the prices are sky rocketing and I haven't even started training yet!
But I know that my passion is so strong that I WILL make it happen for myself, no matter what..
I live to fly and even if I have to sacrifice other luxuries, the one that will give me most joy and be my reason for waking up in the morning will definitely be flying!
I WILL do this for myself, one way or the other, it will happen.

[Turbo]

Thats the right attitude to have -- i hope this happens for you sooner than later.

Let us know when you do find your aerie and get your license.

Good Luck!

[phislett1]

That will be in about 3 years or so, so it's still quite a while
But like I said, I know for sure I'll make it happen.
I want to buy a microlight before a car
I'll just ride to the airfield on the weekends on my bicycle
