Sunday, August 11, 2013. Last day of the Nardt worlds. Start of flying was scheduled at 8h30. A light drizzle was not going to stop the organisers of starting round 8. First up was distance, followed by duration and then speed as the final task. A constant westerly wind had the CD close the eastern winch lines, making way for the landing spots. An area that the germans seem to have figured out and using this as their secret weapon, apart from their close to perfect flying. Anyway, then the frenzy of pack.

Monday, August 29, 2011. HK 450 Helicopter for sale. The heli bug bit me me last year July and I bought an HK450 to see what all the fuss with heli flying is all about. Apart from briefly firing it up to check blade tracking this heli. Servo on the tail rotor.

2014 South African Gliding Nationals. It has been a while since my last post. Briefly, we had round 2 at Silverton Gliding Club. I enjoy the venue as it is quite challenging with a lot of trees all around the field. Should you miss the trees, there is also a huge dam to land in. Round 2 saw only 2m gliders entering and that made for some good competition. Please make an effort to enter. F5J Round 1 - 2 Feb 2014.
