I thought it may be a good idea to start a thread for members that are missing in action i.e. seem to have disappeared from the forum without permission.

The first person that comes to mind is the Dark Helmet.....where is the man :?:

Ratman has also not been around for a while :!:

Come on boys show yourselves :wink:

I agree, Where is DH, GR8-dad, CLU-less, etc etc. Apart from missing them on the forum we also need them to vote on the CAA issues

I am afraid we have lost Darkhelmet to the other side.

Batting for the other team is he - The workaholic team!! :lol: :lol:

Common DH - We miss all the kak you write

Ratman, yes he needs to come onto this here forum more often and be reminded how nice GT450's are, buy one and sell ZU-BTW to me!!!

We had a wonderfull arrangement: Big G sells to Ratman then Me than Smiley - Don't break the chain now :wink:

Yeah, I was going through the members list, and there are folk out there who joined in 2005 who have not submitted one post....... ?

I can understand that maybe about 40 % of members would prefer to just sit back and read, but 80%?

If you add up who the regular contributors are, and match that to members list?................

Regards.

David

you also get those who register just to sell an aerie, once sold they dissappear again, never to be seen from or heard from again

That said it's still the best mechanism of getting to the general South African Microlight population.

Hi all,

yes, I am here, but don't log on all that often. Do pop in now and then.
Must also be honest, not flying trike any more.... but I still try keep up with what's going on.

Hi everyone,

For now I'm a very quiet member, been back in SA for about 2 weeks now finding my feet again,and starting my own business after spending about 10 years abroad. No place like home :D even with all the problems here its still a gr8 place to be. I should now change my name here. Not at sea anymore.
I'm planning to learn to fly next year,if all goes well with the business.

For now I just sit back, read and learn.It can be very intertaining on the forum.

Additionally, the guys who are active here are representitive of the active flyers. Those who lurk or way nothing probably don't fly that often either.

Simon - Question? How come you are not an active pilot? Why not make the dream come true?

Hope I am not getting too personal here?

I tell you with trikes being as cheap as they are these days anyone can afford to fly.

Irony is that some people might look down on the cheapies like Windlass - I spoke to an instructor this morning that prefers flying a Windlass to most other trikes....Says the lift and agility of a Windlass is not easily beaten by fancy airies :lol:

Food for thought. Where there is a will there is a way

PS: I don't own a trike either :( Working on it though
