Weekend Report: Blowout
Saturday
Blown out!
Sunday
A beautiful day with a light SW and though it did not really shape up to the "gurus’" expectations, some interesting flights were achieved with Sven flying down to Napier and back.
Three students came to fly - Mike Allen, Andre Stander and Jaco Hartman, who each had two training flights. We had a visitor from the States – Adnan Mirza is a Pakistani and married to a lady from the Netherlands. He is a very interesting fellow and flies commercially for an airline in the USA. We also have a new member, Andre Fechter, who has just bought a Pipistrel and will be learning to glide at our Club.
Otto, Rico and Rob K flew their self launchers and Dave and Hubert their Rotax Falke. The other pilots who had good days were Sven, Garth, Cornelius, Adriaan, Mike P, Tom H and Kevin Mitchell (in GUC). Most remarkably a certain Zeppelin Ka6 was seen taking to the skies again, trailing cobwebs!
Remember to get to the field early to avoid a late launch at the back of the queue - we hope to have a second tug at the launch point soon, as all the summer activity is causing a bottleneck at peak times.
Rudi and Gerhard are both working hard on the recovery of GUU - thanks to you both. Horst is turning new bushes for the Ka 7.
I would like to also mention that Hans Lobach is very ill and is in the Vegelegen Medi Clinic in Somerset West. Details about his condition can be obtained from Rudi Schurkes.
For those with motorised aircraft - Stellenbosch is having a huge Fly In on the 27,28,29 Jan. There will be camping, parties, fun flying and prizes. All are welcome!
Fly Safely and see you all next weekend.
