Report back- should have been 3 aerries but one pilot got a bee sting just moments before rolling take-off- highly allergic, so aborted, got jabs and is fine.

Mist delayed take-off- this region is prone for hovering mist as soon as the Cosmos shows. Chilly bumpy ride. Wind started howling for the rest of the day- 15 knots gusting to 20. Delayed departure till 17h30 and was blasted home with a constant 35 mile tailwind- ave 115 m/ph.

Thanks to all.

I took a lekker long flight on Sunday afternoon past Villiers, over the eastern sides of Vaaldam and back to Lekoa via the Vaalriver - about 1h45 mins, with a Drift HD 170 under the wing.

The Drift recorded HALF of the trip, then bombed. That is problem no 1.

Problem number two - the software I bought a year ago is also hay-wire - It refuses to let me do frame grabs. Guys - what software are u using for your vids??? Mine is making me lus to s027 s071 s062 s067 s065 s117 s077

I have some lovely frame grabs - but the pc won't cooperate! ## ##
