.. I am not sure about special procedures, ..

Fly safe,
Rudi
Hi Rudi

If I could make a safety suggestion; we flew to the fields on Sat , 20 trikes in the area (in a radius of 2 miles) :shock: + 8 appoaching trikes from the Petit. The best is to fly an agreed anti- or clockwise circuit around the two large fields, with joining trikes slotting in with the traffic.

Enjoy!

Hi Cobra, ok, thanks, that sounds like a good plan so we will adopt it !

Thanks for the info Rudi, we'll route for Springs and then straight to Rhino. I'll listen out on 125.400 for you guys vhpy , I'll be in CRC (white 582 Cobra) or DGW (yellow 912 Cobra) accompanied by KBP in a silver 582 Cobra and maybe another white Cobra (CYW). Circus is invested with Cobra's :lol:

Thanks Cobra, yes, that was the general area I was looking at, also some fields further North on the other side of Delmas. Will go and have a look Friday morning.

We're 2 Trikes from Circus that will definitely be joining you guys on Sat morning. Another 2 or 3 will possibly join and we're flying via Klip to see if there's someone there that want to join. I just have a few questions and would appreciate if someone could help me out :)


Thanks in advance,
Mike Skinner.

Hi Rudi ,Sias and others , just a reminder for those folks flying from and returning to Rhino Park - please , and once again Please do not fly low over the Beefcor feedlot which is south East of Rhino Park .
A few years ago we had the CAA and farming community onto us as some smart guys flew low over the confined cattle which caused a stampede ensuring that Microlights became very unpopular in this area . (**)
Please respect the farmers as they dont enjoy microlights buzzing them early in the mornig and or harassing the people workers and animals . ## ## ##
As a microlighting community we made use of the instructors at Microland to flip the folks at Beefcor to calm the tempers after some folks caued the damage (-) (-) .
I wll personally visit them tomorrow morning to inform them of the cosmos run - xxx

Please folks dont spoil it for others ,
Kind Regards Leprachaun
