Hi Guys

 

Sorry I did not get time to send a e mail out last week. Last Monday was the cut off for provisional tax and before I knew it,  it was Thursday.

 

DDRF is really moving upwards. Last week we had a great lecture on the theory of flight by Wayne Wallace. It was really fantastic and I know that I learnt quite a bit about why the plane flies and why mine crashes. I can highly recommend that all pilots come through to these sessions. Thanks Wayne please keep it up

 

Yesterday Ray Jameson invited Pierre Visser – who is one of three SA representatives to the world champs for pattern flying. He was really brilliant and incredible informative. An area which I had no idea even was taking place in our hobby. Thanks Ray that really was great.

 

Corne Swanepoel has applied for membership – does anyone have any objections?

 

The weather was really great yesterday with a light breeze down the runway. I could not stay too long (various family issues – I know I can expect some flack on this) and left at about 12h15 and by that time there were already 22 pilots at the field. Well done guys that's really great.

 

See you all next Sunday.

 

Peter
