Post date: 07-Mar-2013 08:10:03

We had a wonderful weekend on Hein’s Farm. Weather was excellent and scenery exquisite

Marius, Neil, Mike and our members from Kokstad, Pierre, James, Wayne, Lionel, Herbert and Chris had a good time.There were planes for Africa, from small to large scale. Cars were packed with no space left.

Unfortunately it was a sad weekend with 11 crashes. Luckily nobody was injured, but our hearts were sore, especially when Malcolm lost his extra 300 and PilatusDean's Denkit Extra 300Malcolm's Extra ...Sad to See ... Dennis also wrote off his big stick and the next morning his stick on floats. Malcolm’s Pilatus was beautiful and gracious in the air.

Herbert’s Fieler Storch, immaculately build, flew for the first time Saturday. Was a bit underpowered and with a different propeller it flew like a dream on Sunday.
