Microlighters

Despite my recent run-inns with social networking in general and FB and this forum in particular, I feel rehabilitated. I Also made peace with the year-long restructuring at work that may influence my means of supporting my flying habit.

So if all would have me, I will come back with a clean profile. I promise not to rant and rave, and to be a little less opinionated.

If you would have me, thanx. If not - so be it.

PS: I still love trike flying, and trike pilots! (Some more than others.) - I am now proud owner of both Geelkerneels and a YELLOW (hoe anders?) Aero Trike Cobra!

Regards to all,

James, aka Asterix, aka Geelkerneels se baas.

..And I have LOTS of stuff to share - including my run-inn with a gustfront earlier this year..

Welcome back bud i look forward to hearing the story of the gust front

AAAAG Chom....I share my airfield with you....may as well share the forum with you as well. I have missed your input here.

Glad to have you back

Thanx Big D and Bundy - I'll tell the story about the gustfront on a separate topic. I went from hands off to clinging on for dear life,(and turbulence doesn't scare me easily) while feeling the shifts in wingload up my spine and saw an airspeed indicator going from 70mph to stallspeed and back again.... Guess what was in the backseat? First time trike pax... BAD weather call..

A lot has happened in the recent weeks regarding trike pilots with passengers, and I have done a lot of introspection since these incidents started to happen. Let me tell you - it is not only low flying that kills... I'll do a detailed report - without trying to save face.

My donner....was jy dan weg? Was good talking to you en-route to Ballito the other day. Sorry I missed you (or glad we miss each other in the air near Devon ) Kom wys die Cobra by Rhino

He will have to taxi it there Marius... waiting for a new wing

Ja ja DLO!! Hierdie "DL" 's raak nou baie - DLO , DLY en nou ook DLP!! Marius I tried my best to spot you but I think you must have been doing 80 mph plus at that stage, 500 feet over me , and I was pu-pu-puulling bar to remain over 40 mph!

Ek was erg jaloers toe ek later agterkom jy was ALWEER op 'n ferry flight! My cobra lyk amper dieselfde as daai outjie wat jy afgevlieg het. Net bietjie mooier. Nog so maand dan kom "show ek af". Vlerk by Jenya tans. Hy makeer niks - maar julle ken my as dit kom by vlerke.....

Good to see you back! I enjoyed your insight and honesty and look forward to seeing more thereof in the future!

Hi Asterix
Glad you're back - is that why the name is now Asterix B (Back)?
Will read all the stories - even the rants and raves.
Let them roll...

I agree - Low Flying Kills!

Geel airies vlieg beter!

Welkom terug!

Nice to have you back and add to the diverse point of view.

Give them all hell.

Welcome Asterix.

Let me know if you want to remove the B behind your name.

Good to have you back Asterix and congrats on the new plane. Very nice ride.
