GOING TO START FLYING SOON

[HENNING JOHAN]

What a Day!!The flight to Parys was awsome!Every point spot on and in time or advance!!Short field take off at Parys! The leg to Deynesville was lekkker!From Deynesville to Circus we had a cross wind and I had to correct twice!! We arrived at Circus airfield in 2 hours! We made 10 min up with the detours! Thanks Porra for the great lesson on nav.Next nav exercise is on the 1May to Heidelberg breakfast to Deneysville and back to Circus!I cann't wait for it!!I love the planning!I got my first instruction how to fly with out the GPS!! Throw out the Gps!! We went back to Parys!A very good day for flying!Come back at home 18h15 and we were up at 4h45 this morning!A great day for aviation!!

Howdy all,

This mornings flying was awesome,went to the Vaal,first time flying over the dam wall Flew along the Vaal river which was cool as I managed to follow the river and got to see some cool boats...

Did a touch and go..Did a low level flight over some crops which was awesome..love it low and fast. Learned that if you use the GPS to maintain the heading,managed to maintain airspeed and altitude..pushed the Raptor and kept it at 50mh at 5500amsl..

Damn..can't wait to do it again..If it were not for toilets and refuelling..I would stay up there and play with the birds all day.

Saw some wicked aeries as they passed by,two Pit Specials and not sure what the other were...got to see a GT450 upclose..man what an awesome aerie...one day when I'm big I will buy one

Thanx Porra for an awesome flight,I feel much more at ease and I am loving it even more.

Have an awesome week..till next time..

Hi,Madman!The weather was awsome this morning!That part of the world is nice to fly in!Yesterday it was bumping at the river so we climb to 7000 ft and it was smooth! You are were lucky to fly with a GPS!! I had to use the Big compass and the skydat dx2!The aeries that you saw was on there way to Parys for some aerobatics championship! The raptor is one of my favour trikes!I thought that Porra was a sleep yesterday because he didn,t said alot!! You are in great hands with Porra!!

[Madman]

Heya,

I would have loved to go and check out the show at Parys..coz there were many heading that way.

Lol..I know what you mean, at times I asked Porra are you ok coz it was so quiet...I think the one I used was also a skydat..lol,not a colourful Garmin

Hope the week has been good so far..almost time to head home.

Hi,Madman.If the instrument is a big screen in the centre of the pod thats the skydat!It shows the airspeed,alt,rpm,s.There was a gps saterday on but we didn't use it! Porra used his portable gps! The next big event is Rand airport airshow on the 23 May!Closer to circus is Henley RC airshow we will be there!! on the 8 May hope to see you there!!

[Porra]

Guys, the Skydat is the planes instuments. the gps is a garmin pilot III.

[Madman]

Yippp,the wx!!Ja,madman that trike of mine!I only wish that it was the front wheel! No,the one with the wheels is not mine!The one in front of it is mine,CAI!You must ask Porra for a IFR rating to fly this morning,just joking! I cann't wait for The 1st!We will do the second x country to Heidelberg,Deynesville back to Circus! On monday afternoon I will do the prep for it,my flying instructions! I will see you at Henley.Some of my friends are coming to Henley!!Velocity is going to jump out of the trike,maybe CCP.Bushpilot will show us to do a short field take off in his Cessna,you must see his show!

[Madman]

I'm at work now..the wx is still crappy...

Ok,so what do you still need for it to be airborne?

Sounds like fun,would love to jump out of one myself Lowest I jumped was a hop n pop at 2500ftagl.

I was just watching CNN and they had a piece of a guy flying low level over some beach with a trike..it was awesome.I love what you can do with the trike and how responsive it is low level at high speed.

Winter is here..it is @$$ cold and with the rain even worse..although I manage to braai some and have a couple cold ones to warm me up

Madman,I need a new set of oversize piston and rings! But first we must see why the compression is low before I order the piston kit from the states!Porra and Dewalt took Velocity(Graham Field)and his partner up last year and they jump at the Circus.V loved it and said he wants to return,he is very busy with his own drop zone! Yipp,trikes are great machines!I want to use mine on the farm to do anti poaching and to fly to Lesotho!I still have to built a runway on the farm.This wx is nothing compering with the wx on the farm.Some times it snow twice a year on the farm. It is also lekker to braai in the cold!!

[Madman]

Heya,

Is that a 503?

Yeah,Rustenberg DZ has been busy,I am on the listserve so I check alot of there posts and manifests.

For some it is long weekend as they took the day off today...unlike others that has to work

Well,hope the wx is good tomorrow..would not mind to be airborne.

Snow..that is cold dude..Once I have my licence,I would love to plan a trip to Easterns,with the bike it is awesome..I can only imagine it from the air.

Have an awesome day!!!

Enjoy your day,Madman!

[Madman]

Elo,

Aiy,I don't mind the overtime,but would prefer to be at home than to work

Oh ok..perhaps we could do Phalaborwa together when I get my licence and when your aerie is fixed.

I'm a shiftie,so I get alot of time to do things during the day,if I could I would fly everyday

X country sounds really exciting, how many hours flying is that?

When we flew for 2 hours straight,it was awesome..I can imagine longer than that...I really would smaak it stukkend!!!

Have an awesome day...
